I like the way you're not afraid You've got the world planned in your mind People say you cannot do it But they don't know a friend like you The girl you love has gone away Still too young to know her heart She'll return her love renewed Cause she'll never find a friend like you When I had no one to call All the world had shut me down I showed up at your door so blue Thank God I had a friend like you Any times I've gone without A home, a meal, a pair of shoes If you had three you'd give me two There aint no other friend like you
