Creo que el significado de esta canción va más alla de la amistad. Hay algunas partes de la canción que quieren decir que los amigos simplemente serán amigos, no serán amantes. Aquí van algunos ejemplos:
- Hold out your hands, cause friends will be friends.- It\'s not easy love...
Another red letter day So the pound has dropped and the children are creating The other half ran away Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber Got a pain in the chest Doctors on strike what you need is a rest It’s not easy love, but you’ve got friends you can trust Chorus: Friends will be friends When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention Friends will be friends When you’re through with life and all hope is lost Hold out your hand ‘cause friends will be friends Right till the end Now it’s a beautiful day The postman delivered a letter from your lover Only a phone call away You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number As a matter of fact You’re getting used to life without him in your way It’s so easy now, ‘cause you got friends you can trust Chorus It’s so easy now, ‘cause you got friends you can trust Friends will be friends When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention Friends will be friends When you’re through with life and all hope is lost Hold out your hand, friends will be friends Right till the end Repeat
