[Intro: Michael Jackson]
Ooh-hoo

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go

[Bridge: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say (I used to say) "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Ben, most people would turn you away (Turn you away)
I don't listen to a word they say (A word they say)
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
[Outro: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Like Ben
Like Ben
Like Ben
