Story Behind The Song
There is a woman at my job, about half my age, from Botswana. We have the most amazing friendship, and I think it's a bit misunderstood. But it has endured the test of time, and I can't imagine her not being in my life.

Lyrics
UNLIKELY FRIENDS
I don't care -- let them expose it
I don't care if the whole world knows it
Yes I'm crazy -- there's no denyin'
I couldn't hide it -- no point in tryin'
Can't they see what you mean to me?
How could I let you slip away
It's hard to find friends so true everyday
I'll admit -- we're not ordinary
Controversial? I'd say "VERY!"
Still I can't see, why they're distressin'
Ain't never had what we've got, I'm guessing
They'll never get me to change my mind
Whatever they say or do
I'd risk it all for us
'Cause I'd have no heart in a life apart from you
I'll admit -- we're not ordinary
Controversial? I'd say "VERY!"
Still don't get it, why all the stressin'
They wish they had what we've got, I'm guessing
They'll never get me to change my mind
Whatever they say or do
I'd risk it all for us
'Cause I'll have no part in a life
Don't want nothin' to do with a life
'Cause I'd have no heart in a life apart from you
(Are we such unlikely friends?)
