[Spoken Intro]
Hey y'all I wanna talk about a friend, a real friend

[Verse]
People today misunderstood the word to friend
Is more than just a friend
But the man up above gives us his love
And I tell you we should give some to him for his love

[Chorus]
His love is real (oh true, yes it's good enough for me and you)
His love is right (won't you open up and let him give you life)
He's a real friend (closer than a brother)
He's a real friend (friend like no other)
He's a real friend (there's no doubt about it)
He's a real, kind kind of friend

{Verse]
Life is so funny, we live and we learn
Sometimes we get hurt and sometimes we get served
But I know a friend who's a friend forever
Come rain or shine, stormy weather

[Chorus]
His love is real (so real, yes it's here inside and I can feel it)
His love is fine (I'm so glad he's mine, all mine)
He's a real friend (closer than a brother)
He's a real friend (ooh, friend like no other)
He's a real friend (no, no-no no, no-no doubt about it)
He's a real, that kind of friend
He's a real friend (he is a friend forever
He's a real friend (a friend, a friend in stormy weather)
He's a real friend (no, no, no, no doubt about it)
He's a real, that kind of friend
[Verse: ???]
Throw your hands up, chop chop
Praise him if you will
I know you wanna, 'cause you can't sit still
Don't you worry, the glory, [???]
He'll [??] you, then guide you, if you feel the way that I do
He's my friend, oh yes he's my friend
Put you to the test 'til the very end
And if you ask, he's there when you need him
Hmm, yes indeed-um, he's a real friend

[Chorus]
His love is real (so real, yes it's here inside and I can feel it)
His love is fine (I'm so glad he's mine)
He's a real friend (all mine)
He's a real friend (ooh, friend like no other)
He's a real friend (there's no, no, no, no, no doubt about it)
He's a real, that kind of friend (he's a real, oh yeah)
He's a real friend (yes he is, yeah, yes he is)
He's a real friend (a friend in storm-st-stormy weather)
He's a real friend (no, no-no, no, no-no no doubt about it)
He's a real, that kind of friend (oh yeah)
