Send "Shorty" Ringtone to Cell

It's certainly true, there's better things to do
And though I don't know everything
I wouldn't tell you anything if I did.
The last time I saw you act like this
We were kids.
What am I to do?
My heart goes out to you.
Over reacting, over again
Just between friends.
What am I to do?
I won't come between you two.
What was I to do?
I gave it.
What was I to say?
I gave it all I could.
How was I to know?
I bet you'll never find another friend like me.

    General Comment:To me, this long is all about stepping back and just letting things work out between two group of people. Two friends who suddenly have issues with each other and you're stuck in the middle. It's a song, I think, about getting out of the way of issues.

    General Comment:shorty is ghetto slang for girl? that's all i can think of, hoyden.

    i can relate to this song so much. luckily i've moved on from that stage, but this song helped so much because i could never say anything. it spoke for me.

    General Comment:I think that everyones opinion is really good ^_^ the one part of this song that i like is ...
    "I bet you'll never find another friend like me."
    I love the whole song but that one part makes me think of myself even though nothing else does . Its probably the one thing that i would like to say to my brother more than anything, just so he could understand how ive been there for him.

    General Comment:These are all really good thoughts but i just went through this situation.. and this song is like the only thing that got me through it. Its about guy/girl best friends and he cares about her enough to warn her about a guy shes dating but she wont listen to what he says. She just gets pissed and pushes him away. At least thats my 2 cents

    General Comment:On the liner notes for "Four Minute Mile" it says that Robert Lowe sings on this song. Does anyone know if that's Rob Lowe the actor?
