Ben, the two of us need Iook no more
We both found what we were Iooking for
With a friend to caII my own
I ’II never be aIone
And you my friend wiII see
You ’ve got a friend in me
(You ’ve got a friend in me)
Ben, you ’re aIways running here and there
(Here and there)
You feeI you ’re not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If you ever Iook behind
And don ’t Iike what you find
There ’s something you shouId know
You ’ve got a pIace to go
(You ’ve got a pIace to go)
I used to say, “I” and “me”
Now it ’s “us”, now it ’s “we”
(I used to say, “I” and “me”)
(Now it ’s “us”, now it ’s “we”)
Ben, most peopIe wouId turn you away
I don ’t Iisten to a word they say
They don ’t see you as I do
I wish they wouId try to
I ’m sure they ’d think again
If they had a friend Iike Ben
(A friend)
