ben, the two of us need look no more
we both found what we were looking for
with a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
and you my friend will see
you've got a friend in me
( you've got a friend in me )
Ben, you're always running here and there
( here and there )
you feel you're not wanted anywhere
( anywhere )
if you ever look behind
and don't like what you find
there's something you should know
you've got a place to go
( you've got a friend in me )
I used to say, ' i ' and ' me '
now it's ' us ' now it's ' we '
(i used to say, ' i ' and ' me '
now it's ' us ' now it's ' we ')
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
they don't see you as i do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
if they had a friend like ben
( a friend )
like ben
( like ben )
like ben
