[Verse 1]
So unexpected when I first met ya
Didn't know what to think
We were so different, not sure that you'd listen
Scared to share anything

[Refrain]
But then I found that you felt the same
And that's when everything changed

[Chorus]
Sometimes when you need a friend, just need to be a friend
Gotta spin the whole picture around
You need to share your light, help someone learn to fly
Flip the way that you feel upside down yeah yeah
Let the magic begin and just be a friend

[Verse 2]
Sometimes it takes ya a little more strength
Flying into the wind
We get together yeah we make it better
Then we do it again

[Refrain]
But then I found that you felt the same
And that's when everything changed
[Chorus]
Sometimes when you need a friend, just need to be a friend
Gotta spin the whole picture around
You need to share your light, help someone learn to fly
Flip the way that you feel upside down yeah yeah
Let the magic begin and just be a friend

[Bridge]
All you need is a friend
Stay true to the end
Anything for a friend

[Chorus]
Sometimes when you need a friend, just need to be a friend
Gotta spin the whole picture around
You need to share your light, help someone learn to fly
Flip the way that you feel upside down yeah yeah
Let the magic begin and just be a friend
Let it come from within true to the end
Through thick and thin just be a friend
