Verse 1
Can you tell me what I'm doing
cause I just don't seem to know
I know I have to leave here
but I got no place to go
I need someone to tell me
that it's going to be alright
but they keep on throwing punches
and I'm just too tired to fight
You said that you would always be there
And so I wonder where have you been
Next time around
I surely could use a friend
Verse 2
Someone who can hold you when
the night is dark and grey
Someone to assure you when
you're sick or feeling pain
Someone who can make you smile
and make you forget for a while
Next time around
I surely could use a friend
int
So leave me now
I don't need you any more
I know the truth can hurt
But ain't that what friends are for
Verse 3
Someone to be your shelter when
the times are getting tough
Someone to be your reason when
you think you've had enough
Someone to be the strength
on which you can depend
Next time around
I surely could use a friend
If I ever had a second chance
to do it all over again
Next time around
I really could use a friend
