you've been a friend to me

if you say up - i say down

we're the most unlikely pair

but up or down

high or low

you've always been right there

you've been a friend to me

a godsend to me

i ain't too proud to say

you've been a friend to me

now if i'm feeling lowdown

or feeling ten feet tall

thick or thin

the shape i'm in

don't matter to you at all

you've been a friend to me

a godsend to me

i ain't too proud to say

you've been a friend to me

whenever i needed someone

you're right there on the line

with a friend like you

to get me through

i'll get by every time

whenever i needed someone

you're right there on the line

with a friend like you

to get me through

i'll get by every time

you've been a friend to me

a godsend to me

i ain't too proud to say

you've been a friend to me
