Bein' Friends

Bein' Friends is a song in Mother. It is the second overworld theme and plays whenever Ninten is traveling with other party members (i.e., after Lloyd joins him or while he is traveling with Pippi). When Ninten is traveling alone, Pollyanna plays instead.

A remix of the tune appears as one of the tracks for the Onett stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee under the title "Mother 1"; this remix reappears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl along with its stage. Versions of the song also appear in the soundtracks for Mother and Mother 1+2.

Lyrics
The tune was given words on the vocal soundtrack for Mother, and is the second track of the album. The vocals were performed by Catherine Warwick.

When you are happy, with laughter to spare Fun is twice as fun with someone to share When you are lonely and full of despair Things aren't half as bad when somebody cares

Maybe now you have figured it out That's what bein' a friend is about When you're lookin' for a shoulder you can cry on Won't you think about me When you're lookin' for someone you can rely on Don't you ever doubt me I'll be there someway, somehow That's what bein' friends is about

When you are restless and want room to breathe I will give you all the space that you need And when you're ready for my company I will come around; just call on me

Maybe now you have figured it out That's what bein' a friend is about When you need someone who feels the way you do Won't you think about me Someone who can pick you up when you are blue Don't you ever doubt me I'll be there someway, somehow That's what bein' friends is about

I'm your friend 'till the end Count on me In the sunshine and the rain Paradise and back again Count on me Let me be a friend in need Let me be a friend indeed Count on me

And if you ask me, you know that it's true There is not a thing that I wouldn't do I'd follow you to the ends of the earth That's how much I think our friendship is worth

Maybe now you have figured it out That's what bein' a friend is about When there's something that you just don't understand Won't you think about me I'll be more than glad to lend a helping hand Don't you ever doubt me I'll be there someway, somehow That's what bein' friends is about I'll be there someway, somehow That's what bein' friends is about

Tell me all your secrets I will swear to keep them Let me know your problems I will help you solve them When your heart is aching I will stop it breaking When you are in danger I am your guardian angel I will stand beside you Be the one to guide you When your dreams are crumblin' Call me I'll come runnin' That's what friends is all about
