| Who said that money was everything
|
| Well that’s a crock, you know what I’m saying
|
| When the well runs dry
|
| Say goodbye to fair weather friends
|
| If I need a hug
|
| And feel like crawling under a rug
|
| If I fell on my face
|
| I know that you’d be there to help me up
|
| Cause it’s you, only you that makes me strong
|
| Cause there ain’t nobody, no
|
| Gonna make me live my life alone
|
| A friend won’t leave me lying in the road
|
| While the others they just pelt me with their sticks and stones
|
| Won’t steal my money
|
| Won’t rob my home or take my honey
|
| I hope my friend will always be there while I grow old
|
| Lovers they come and go
|
| Like ships to a dock, a bunch of heartbreakers they are
|
| They blind you with their innocence
|
| And tie your heart in knots
|
| If I need some hope
|
| And I feel like I’m at the end of my rope
|
| You make that funny face
|
| You’re always there to cheer me up
|
| Cause it’s you, only you that will take me along
|
| Cause there ain’t nobody, no
|
| I’d rather have to help me sing a song
|
| A friend won’t leave me lying in the road
|
| While the others they just pelt me with their sticks and stones
|
| Won’t steal my money
|
| Won’t rob my home or take my honey
|
| I hope my friend will always be there while I grow old
|
| Won’t think it’s funny
|
| And stand up for me, while others call me a dummy
|
| A friend will always be there when I grow
|
| A friend will always be there when I grow
|
| A friend will always be there when I grow old |
