Intro Verse 1 Can you tell me what I'm doing cause I just don't seem to know I know I have to leave here but I got no place to go I need someone to tell me that it's going to be alright but they keep on throwing punches and I'm just too tired to fight You said that you would always be there And so I wonder where have you been Next time around I surely could use a friend Verse 2 Someone who can hold you when the night is dark and grey Someone to assure you when you're sick or feeling pain Someone who can make you smile and make you forget for a while Next time around I surely could use a friend int So leave me now I don't need you any more I know the truth can hurt But ain't that what friends are for Verse 3 Someone to be your shelter when the times are getting tough Someone to be your reason when you think you've had enough Someone to be the strength on which you can depend Next time around I surely could use a friend If I ever had a second chance to do it all over again Next time around I really could use a friend Outro
