Everyone wants to be by you / Everyone knows your name

Everyone thinks you're delightful / Everyone wants to be your friend

I don't want to be in my shoes / I don't want to stay the same

I want to be just like you / I want to be your friend

I want all the friends in the world / And then you might notice me

And when you look at me / You might see

That we could be friends too / That we could be friends too

I want to be admired / I want to be adored

I want the world to sing to my song / I want to sing along

But I want to be different / I don't want to be the same

I shouldn't have to be just like you / I shouldn't have to pretend

I want all the friends in the world / And then you might notice me

And when you look at me / You might see

That we could be friends too / That we could be friends too

I heard the last bell ringing / Going out to see the world

When I've met some new friends / Then maybe I won't need you

I want all the friends in the world / And then you might notice me

And when you look at me / You might see

That we could be friends too / That we could be friends too
