Everybody needs a friend
One that's true to the end
When you need me, I'll come through
'Cause I know just what to do

No need to tell me that you want me
Or that you even care
When you need me, I'll be there
'Cause everybody, everybody needs a friend

I'll treat you kind
And you'll find just how much
How much I care for you
I'll share your gladness
And your sadness
'Cause I know just what to do

When your skies are dark and gray
I'll chase, chase your blues away
Till then, just say maybe
'Cause everybody, everybody needs a friend

Till then, just say maybe
'Cause everybody, everybody, everybody
Needs a friend
(Everybody needs a friend)
