You need a friend
I need a friend
Everyone needs somebody to talk to
Someone who's there
Someone who cares
Somebody just like you

Chorus:
Friends - They come in all sizes
Friends - They come in all colors
Friends - They come anywhere
Two people have the time to share
You need a friend
I need a friend
Someone who knows what we're going through
Someone who hears
Our hopes and our fears
Somebody just like you
Repeat Chorus
'though friends may sometimes disagree
With angry words said hastily
Friends are not afraid to say I'm sorry - sorry -
You can be real
And say what you feel
Friends understand the things that you do
Joyful or sad
Good times or bad
True friends will stand by you
Repeat Chorus
Since you need a friend
And I need a friend
Let's get together, it's easy to do
May I say, "Hello
I'm happy to know
Somebody just like you !"
