[Verse 1]
Thrown out of the bar, can't find your car
Swear somebody stole your keys
Drunk and alone, trying to get home
You need a friend like me

[Verse 2]
Nothing sticks if you give up too quick
You end up on your knees
You're afraid of the dark, it's cold in your heart
You need a friend like me

[Chorus]
You don't have to settle down
I want you how you are right now
I know you wanna fix it all
But who's gonna catch you when you fall?
And I need you
But you need me, too
Maybe you don't believe
I think you need a friend like me

[Verse 3]
You're lost in the crowd, so you hid in the clouds
But I can always see
Who you are, and you've come so far
You need a friend like me
[Pre-Chorus]
To hold you closer, let you know I'm here

[Chorus]
You don't have to settle down
I want you how you are right now
I know you wanna fix it all
But who's gonna catch you when you fall?
And I need you
But you need me, too
Maybe you don't believe
I think you need a friend like me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll hold you closer, don't you know I'm here?

[Chorus]
You don't have to settle down
I want you how you are right now
I know you wanna fix it all
But who's gonna catch you when you fall?
You don't have to change your mind
I'm gonna wear you down in time
We may never get it right
But sure as hell I'm gonna try
'Cause I need you
And you need me too
Yeah, you can count on me
'Cause I'm a friend indeed
Even if you don't believe
You need a friend like me
