Everybody Needs a Friend - Lyrics

Everybody needs a friend

Everybody needs a go-to-guy

Someone to be there when your heart is feeling blue

Just to say they love you true

No matter what the fuss is

Everybody needs a friend

(Everybody needs a friend)

Everybody needs a friend

(Everybody needs a friend)

Everybody needs that special one

Who sees the person that you are without a doubt

For they see you inside out

And they never judge or ridicule

Everybody needs a friend

(Everybody needs a friend)

And when your life is in a mess

You must confess

Your friend will be there

(They’ll never leave your side)

And if you’re happy as can be

You’ll surely see

Your friend will joy with you

(They’ll be happy too)

That’s because they are your friend

The one connection you’d be lost without

A faithful friend through thick or thin you can rely

The apple of your eye

And you can know for certain

They will always be your friend

(They will always be your friend)

Everybody needs that friend

(Everybody needs that friend)

That friend you can’t imagine life without

Someone who makes you feel you want to be your best

Regardless of life’s test

They bring the better side of you

Everybody needs that friend

(Everybody needs that friend)

And when your friend in deed

Them self is found in need

They know you’ll be there

(You’ll never leave their side)

They know the friend they have in you

Is happy too

In their prosperity

(There’s no jealousy)

That’s because you are their friend

The one they look to as their very soul

Someone who always has a shoulder they can lean on

An ear that’s open wide

A heart that breaks when they are sad

Everybody needs a friend

(Everybody needs a friend)

People need to be a friend

(People need to be a friend)

Everybody needs a friend

(Everybody needs a friend)

I’m so glad I have my friend.
