1. Ev’rybody needs a friend
    No one wants to be alone.
    Oh, when things are lookin’ down,
    it’s good to have somewhere to go.
    There are those who really love you
    you can see it in their eyes.
    There are those who will pretend to
    and might say all sorts of lies.
    And it might hurt you
    but it’s good to
    know how to recognize
    the one from the other
    and make the ones that matter.
  
  
    Good friends lift you up
    when you feel you’ve had enough
    keep you goin’ through the thick and thin.
    Good friends gather round you,
    leave you better than they found you.
    They’re by your side until the very end.
    Yeah, that’s a good friend.
    That’s a good friend.
  
 
  
    2. Ev’rybody needs a friend
    and there’s always room for more.
    You might be the one they need.
    So what are you waiting for.
    There are those who want to
    but they are just too shy,
    and they might pretend like,
    ev’ry thing’s alright.
    We’ll be able to see,
    if we open up our eyes.
    We’ll start to notice suff’rers
    and be the ones that matter.
