When you're lonely, when you're blue When you need someone to talk to When you need a talkin' to And when troubles full and plenty Come pilin' at your door That's what friends are for
Ladies and gentlemen of the whole wide world If every now and then a single voice was heard Telling it like it should be, makin' it simple and plain If that man needs a helpin' hand Help him in from the rain
Now I know you, know you well And I know that you've been worryin' It's not hard for me to tell But I'm standin' right beside you Of that you can be sure That's what friends are for
Ladies and gentlemen of the whole wide world If every now and then a single voice was heard Telling it like it should be, makin' it simple and plain If that man needs a helpin' hand Help him in from the rain
So remember, take your time Just be sure and let it harmonise Yeah, be sure and let it rhyme I might call on you to see me through So open up your door That's what friends are for That's what friends are for
