Everyone needs a friend sometimes
To wake you up and sing
the lullabyes
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
that's what it's all about.

A lot of sad and dreary faces
here tonight
Guess they started out
feeling alright
Girls with the blues and make-up
on their face
Boy missin' love so bad I hear
them say

I need a lover you need a friend
I need someone who ain't
runnin' away
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
To wake you up and sing
the lullabyes
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
that's what it's all about.

When you check it out you
will know
That there's no one for you to
lean on - 'cause
Everybody's got to do it their way
So come on there baby come on
get it alright

I need a lover you need a friend
I need someone who ain't
runnin' away
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
To wake you up and sing
the lullabyes
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
That's what it's all about.

I need a lover you need a friend
I need someone who ain't
runnin' away
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
To wake you up and sing
the lullabyes
Everyone needs a friend sometimes
That's what it's all about.
