if you say up - i say down

we're the most unlikely pair

but up or down, high or low

you've always been right there



you've been a friend to me, a godsend to me

i ain't too proud to say

you've been a friend to me



now if i'm feeling lowdown

or feeling ten feet tall

thick or thin, the shape i'm in

don't matter to you at all



you've been a friend to me, a godsend to me

i ain't too proud to say

you've been a friend to me



whenever I needed someone

you're right there on the line

with a friend like you, to get me through

i'll get by every time



whenever I needed someone

you're right there on the line

with a friend like you, to get me through

i'll get by every time



you've been a friend to me, a godsend to me

i ain't too proud to say

you've been a friend to me
