Average song rating One of Brian Wilson's most charming and childlike lyrics ("let's be friends...let's be friends") is accompanied by one of his most dazzling collections of chord changes and exotic vocal harmonies. I'm amazed that this song was not more successful in the charts, but that failure makes no difference for the pure musical pleasure this song brings. Bruce Beatlefan August 23, 2008

Lyrics

We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Turned each other on to the good things that life has to give

We drift apart for a little bit of a spell
One night I get a call and I know that you're well
And days I was down you would help me get out of my hole

Ohhhhhhhh

Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Let's be friends

You told me when my girl was untrue
I loaned you money when the funds weren't too cool
I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair

We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Dim dipple ee dim dipple ay dim dipple oo dim dee aye oh
