When I was down
You told me get up, get up, get up
You showed me how
When the night was long
You came and lit up, lit up, lit up
With a light so strong

Oh so many times I
I wanted to say this
I think you're the bright side
I think you're the greatest
Hey!

You've got a true friend
You've got a true friend in me
You got a bestie
And I swear I'm gonna be right here by your side
You lifted up my life
And I'm never gonna let you forget it
You've got a true friend

You are my rock
You always fill up, fill up, fill up
My lonely heart
You are my strength
So keep your chin up, chin up, chin up
My guiding star
Oh so many times I
Made such a mess
You held me while I cried
You made all the difference
Hey!

You've got a true friend
You've got a true friend in me
You got a bestie (you got a bestie)
And this is where I'm gonna be
Right here by your side (right here by your side)
You lifted up my life
And I'm never gonna let you forget it (no never, never, never)
You've got a true friend (you got, you got, you got, hey!)
(You got, you got, you got, hey!)

(When you need) a shoulder to cry on
Better be mine
(When you need) an ear to listen
I've got two here every time
(When you need) to finally speak the truth
(When you need) no judgement I'll be here
To sing loud songs with you
While stumbling down the streets at night

You've got a true friend (you've got a true friend)
You've got a true friend in me
You got a bestie (you got a bestie, way-oh)
And this is where I'm gonna be
Right here by your side (right here by your side)
You lifted up my life (you lifted up)
And I'm never gonna let you forget it (no never, never)
You've got a true friend
La-da, da-da-da
La-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
(You got, you got, you got, you got it, hey!)
La-da, da-da-da (true friend)
La-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
(You got, you got, you got, you got it, hey!)
La-da, da-da-da (true friend)
La-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
(You got, you got, you got, you got it, hey!)
(You got, you got, you got, you got it, hey!)
