Everybody needs a true, true friend
To help them through the day
Everybody needs a true, true friend
To help them through the day
If you need me
I'll be there
If you need me
You'll know where

Everybody needs a safe dark song ?
Even if it takes the whole night long
Everybody needs a safe dark song ?
Even if it takes the whole night long
If you need me
I'll be there
If you need me
I'll be there
Well, I'll be there
To help you along

If they lay me down tonight
I tried to lead a gracious life
If they lay me down tonight
Don't you know I tried to live all right ?
If you need me
Then I'll be there
If you need me
You'll know where
I'll be there, baby
You're my friend
I'll be there
Oh, but I love you
Oh, my friend
Oh, my friend
