“Any Friend of Diane’s” is the tenth and final track on Weezer’s eleventh studio album Pacific Daydream. It, like the majority of the rest of the album, was produced by Butch Walker. It is similar to “Mykel and Carli”, “Susanne” and “Jamie” in that it was inspired by women who were helpful in Weezer...
[Chorus]
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
Home is where the heart is (Ooh)
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
[Verse 1]
Working at Papa John's I was making good bread
Got a $20 tip on New Years' and I moved out to LA
She drew me up a map with a fountain pen
She took me to Hermosa with the boys from 'round the way
[Chorus]
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
Home is where the heart is (Ooh)
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
[Verse 2]
Headbang in the crowd, dive from the stage
With black hair and a Smiths shirt, Meat Is Murder
I asked her if she had a boyfriend, she said no
I asked her if she had a girlfriend, she said "Hell, I wouldn't know"
[Chorus]
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
Home is where the heart is (Ooh)
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
[Bridge]
Went down to the bank of the river
And she washed my dirty hands
I've been hanging around in a cloud of shame
Till she led me to taste the cold water
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Diane would help me pass out all the fliers
I became a big shot, and she got sick one day
I still have the map she drew for me
I'd be lost without it, there's so much I want to say
[Chorus]
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine
Home is where the heart is (Ooh)
Any friend of Diane's is a friend of mine

According to Rivers Cuomo in 2017:
I think I was shifting around between different women I knew before making it. Just thinking back on women who were very helpful, supportive. My boss at Domino’s Pizza, she painted my band’s logo on the back of my jean jacket. That meant a lot and gave me a feelin...
