What are Friends For?

So what are friends for? Always get me into trouble

With the things they demand.

So what are friends for? Always burst my plastic bubble

Ignoring what I’ve got planned

So what are friends for? Always asking me for money

When they don’t have a dime.

So what are friends for? Saying things that just aren’t funny

At inappropriate times.

 

They drive you round the bend, but when you need a friend,

They’ll always find the time to spend with you and…

When you got a friend, they come around

They pick you up before you hit the ground

They take the heat, before you burn

A friend wants nothing ever in return

 

So what are friends for? Always got a different problem

Always on the phone night and day

So what are friends for? Even when you find solutions

Problems never seem to go away

So what are friends for? Always there just criticising

Draining your confidence bare.

So what are friends for? Doing something so surprising

Never seeming ever to care

 

When you need a mate, they never hesitate,

To be there at you side, and you can confide in…

When you got a friend, they come around

They pick you up before you hit the ground

They take the heat, before you burn

A friend wants nothing ever in return…

 

You need to have one good friend

Everybody has to have one good friend

It’s essential that you find one true friend.

You need to have one good friend

Everybody has to have one good friend

It’s essential that you find one true friend.

 

So when you’re feeling low, with no where else to go

A friend will always show to lift your spirits…

When you got a friend, they come around

They pick you up before you hit the ground

They take the heat, before you burn

A friend wants nothing ever in return…
