Many people say true friends
Are hard to find
But I know I'm not that kind
They come and go
And sometimes leave us behind
Like a wind that passes by
Chorus
('Cause) When you need a friend
That you can depend
You can count on me
Because you're my best friend
When you're feeling down
And your heart is hurt
You can call on me
And I'll be there for you
Friend
Interlude
Good things may come
And then bad things may go
Like a birth a long time ago
You're like the ship
That's sailing across the sea
To the waves that's so unkind
Chorus
('Cause) When you need a friend
That you can depend
You can count on me
Because you're my best friend
When you're feeling down
And your heart is hurt
You can call on me
And I'll be there for you
Friend
When you need a friend
That you can depend
You can count on me
A pause
When you're feeling down
And your heart is hurt
You can call on me
And I'll be there for you
Chorus
('Cause) When you need a friend
That you can depend
You can count on me
Because you're my best friend
When you're feeling down
And your heart is hurt
You can call on me
And I'll be there for you
Friend
