Could I take you to a Laker game
Could we kiss outside the stadium
Get a drink and then we'll catch a plane
Fly it out to the Caribbean
Find a beach and lay in the sands
Watch the sunset holding hands
Tell you how I feel so you understand
My plan

Sweetheart, I wanna be your best friend
I wanna be your guardian
I wanna be the one who brings you up
When you're crashing
Sweetheart, when you feel like no one cares
When you need a strong defense
I will be the one
Cause what I want is you - sweetheart

I'm gonna pick up on the little signs
I'm gonna walk a really fine line
Be in your bed and be right by your side
Touch your hair when you start to cry
You know I know just how to make you smile
And I would walk a hundred thousand miles
I guess it's true that I would risk my life
Tonight

Sweetheart, I wanna be your best friend
I wanna be your guardian
I wanna be the one who brings you up
When you're crashing
Sweetheart, when you feel like no one cares
When you need a strong defense
I will be the one
Cause what I want is you - sweetheart

Close your eyes and dream of me
Of everything that I could be
Close your eyes and dream of me

I wanna be your best friend
I wanna be your guardian
I wanna be the one

Sweetheart, I wanna be your best friend
I wanna be your guardian
I wanna be the one who brings you up
When you're crashing
Sweetheart, when you feel like no one cares
When you need a strong defense
I will be the one
Cause what I want is you - sweetheart
