She was my friend when I needed a friend

He was the man who said our love would never end

When things went wrong, she'd tell us both to try again

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for



And there were times when she was feeling down

One of us would always come around

And try to share some other happiness we found

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for



I suppose I should have seen what was happening to me

And I guess I should have known, there wasn't love enough for three

And now there's only me



So I'm alone, like I never thought I'd be

I trusted her, just as far as I could see

And she stole his love away from me

If that's what friends are for, I don't need them anymore
