Analysis of She's there



My best friend is always there,
No matter what mood I'm in.
She looks at me when I talk to her
and she tells me exactly what she is thinking,
even if it's not what I want to hear.
My best friend never lets me down,
No matter where she's at.
She'll email, call or write a letter
just to tell me she is thinking about me.
My best friend can always count on me,
Just as I count on her...
No matter what mood she is in and
No matter where either one of us is at
because that is what best friends are for.
