Besties Lyrics
[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 1]
I wanna be anywhere other than this
I wanna see my best friend waving at me
I wanna be living with you
Seeing it through
Do you wanna play?
Forever how long can I play?
A song l made, yeah, it's a song
I'm gonna read something that's good
But I'll listen to you
[Refrain]
I'm not asking much
Just enough
Fill my cup
Get me up
You make me laugh, babe
[Chorus]
Yeah, I know what's expected of me
Besties, night and day
Remember when I said he shouldn't treat you that way, and are you sure?
I know I want something more
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 1]
I wanna be anywhere other than this
I wanna see my best friend waving at me
I wanna be living with you
Seeing it through
Do you wanna play?
Forever how long can I play?
A song l made, yeah, it's a song
I'm gonna read something that's good
But I'll listen to you
[Refrain]
I'm not asking much
Just enough
Fill my cup
Get me up
You make me laugh, babe
[Chorus]
Yeah, I know what's expected of me
Besties, night and day
Remember when I said he shouldn't treat you that way, and are you sure?
I know I want something more
[Verse 2]
And what about you?
In fact, don't answer that
Wouldn't want it any other way
'Cause this feels
Bestiе girl
Take it back now
What you feel is the hole in your lifе
And she's probably right
She's probably right, right, right...
[Refrain]
(Just enough) I project
(Fill my cup) I get wet
(Get me up) I get dry
(You make me laugh, babe) You make me cry, babe
Yeah, I came out and where were you?
I think you see right through me
Bestie, on my mind
Just lean into it
I'm a walking TikTok trend
But the colour runs out in the end
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah-ooh
(Ah-ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ooh)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
And what about you?
In fact, don't answer that
Wouldn't want it any other way
'Cause this feels
Bestiе girl
Take it back now
What you feel is the hole in your lifе
And she's probably right
She's probably right, right, right...
[Refrain]
(Just enough) I project
(Fill my cup) I get wet
(Get me up) I get dry
(You make me laugh, babe) You make me cry, babe
Yeah, I came out and where were you?
I think you see right through me
Bestie, on my mind
Just lean into it
I'm a walking TikTok trend
But the colour runs out in the end
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah-ooh
(Ah-ah-ah-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ooh)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

In an email promoting the song, the following words were attached: “Things may get a bit strange (don’t worry if they do). Make sure she knows that you love her! Don’t expect a present every birthday.” The song deals with unrequited love for a best friend, with the narrator torn between desiring her friend but not wanting to ruin the friendship.
