Hey!!!!



You're the kid from down the street

The one we used to greet

And we're glad that it turned out good

We're pleased that you've done well

But maybe you should tell

Us, in person, like real friends should

Because it doesn't take that much

And then you find you're out of touch

With the people that you called friends

So maybe now it's time

To drop them all a line, yeah

And try to make amends



You shouldn't take it for granted

The roots that you planted will be fine

You should make it a mission

To go back and check from time to time....



Break out

play about

But don't leave out

People where you started it from x2



It didn't take that much

To say you'd keep in touch

But how many people do?

They're the one's who put you there

Does it mean you have to care

I guess that bit's up to you

But they're the best days of your life

The time you learn your wrongs from right

No money can buy you those

So hold on to your past

You gotta make those friendships last

Coz the good time comes and goes



You shouldn't take it for granted

The roots that you planted will be fine

You should make it a mission

To go back and check from time to time....



You're growing up

You're getting old

Don't wanna be

left In the cold

A different place

A newer face

You're sinking fast

Without a trace

It only takes

A little while

To call 'em up

And make 'em smile....



You shouldn't take it for granted

The roots that you planted will be fine

You should make it a mission

To go back and check from time to time.
