[Spoken Intro: Bobby Brown & Debra Winans]
Debbie, you know, I really treasure your friendship
And I really treasure yours, Bob
You know, good friendships are hard to find these days, in the '90s
Yes, they are
I'm glad I got a friend in you
Hey, and I'll be there
And did you know, Bobby, a friend sticks closer than a brother?
Yeah Debbie, and that's what I call a true friendship
Well, can we sing about this?
Let's do it
I'd love to

[Verse 1: Bobby Brown & Debra Winans]
I promise to stay through the rain
And I told you I'd stick close through the pain
Didn't I say
I promise to go the extra mile
And when you're feeling sad will volunteer the smile

[Chorus: Bobby Brown & Debra Winans]
'Cause I'm your friend (Friend)
And I'm there, just say when
Yes, I'm your friend (Friend)
And I will love you 'til the end
[Verse 2: Bobby Brown & Debra Winans]
Now even though they'll be times we won't agree
But the love we share I know will always be
I will tell you when right, and yes, when wrong (Yes, when wrong)
'Cause it's the truth I love and always take along

[Chorus: Bobby Brown, Debra Winans, Both]
'Cause I'm your friend (I'm your friend)

You can count on me, baby (I'm your friend)
