The very first time
That I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said hello and I said hi
I knew right then you were the one

But I was caught up
In physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby you were more than just a face

(chorus)
And if I ever (ever fall) in love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall) in love so true (true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you

Oh, yeah, the very next time she'll be my friend

If I say that I will be your one and only (promise, promise)
Promise that you'll never be lonely
I just wanna be the one you need
Oh, baby

I just wanna be the one who serves you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share

(chorus)

Very next time she will be my friend
Someone who I can believe in (my friend)
I need someone who'll be my friend (my friend)
To be with me through thick and thin (my friend)
Please share my love with me my friend
I need someone like you

(chorus) (2X)
