Running away from life is hard to do
Especialy when there's nothin' else for you
Just have a little patience, 'cause life will never make sense
Unless you have lived and you've learned all the facts
For yourself
It's really nice to know that you're my friend
And that you let me call you, now and then
If I have any problems
I know you help me solve 'em
And stand by my side, lend a hand, be my guide
To the end
Ohhh I'll do the same for you
You know I even take the blame for you
And if I call, I might do any good
Change your darkest night for day
If only I could... well you know i would
I wish i could do a whole lot more
Haven't I told you this before?
Isn't that what a friend is for?
That's what friends are for!
So if your cup should fill right to the brim
You know I stay by you, through thick and thin
Don't think twice, I'm only
A minute away if you're lonely
Remember that life ain't so bad when you know
You have a friend
Ohhh I do the same for you
Well you know I even take the blame for you
And if I call, I might do any good
Change your darkest night to day
If only I could... of course you know i would
I wish i could do a whole lot more
Haven't I told you this before?
Isn't that what a friend is for?
That's what friends are for!
So if your cup should fill right to the brim
You know I stay by you, through thick and thin
Don't think twice, I'm only
A minute away if you're lonely
Remember that life ain't so bad, when you know
You have a friend, better take it easy
