That's What Friends Are For Songtext
von The Temptations

Everybody needs one
Everybody
Yeah

Talking ′bout friends, oh, yeah

I got a call just the other day
From a friend I used to have
She was reaching out to touch somebody
Lord knows she sure could use a friend
(Life had been kind of rough) Oh, yeah
She had been dissed by a man
(I said: "Take me by the hand")
And I'll stand right by your, girl

(That′s what friends are for)
Count on me, baby (You can count on me)
There's no need to cry (That's what friends are for)
(Everybody needs one)
Ooh, you know I′m right and, lady, I′m yours
(That's what friends are for)


I ain′t no fair-weather friend
You know I'll stick with you thick or thin
From the moment we first met, ooh
Something about you I couldn′t forget (I couldn't forget)
(Use to wonder how ya doing) How ya doing
And if you ever think about me, girl (Think about me, girl)
Better times are on the way
This I know or I wouldn′t even say it, uh-oh

That's what friends are for (You can count on me, yeah)
There's no need to cry (That′s what friends are for) oh, yeah
(Everybody needs one)
Ooh, you know I′m right and, lady, I'm yours, oh
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
Ooh, and I believe it′s you, baby, it's you, it′s you, I believe you, darling, you
(That's what friends are for)
You can count on me, my lady
(Everybody needs one)
Oh, you know I′m right and, lady, I'm yours
Oh, oh, oh
Everybody needs somebody to love
Ooh, and I believe it's you, baby, it′s you, it′s you (I believe you, darling, ooh)


(That's what friends are for)
You can count on me, my lady
(Everybody needs one)
Ooh, you know, that′s right
'Cause, lady, I′m yours (That's what friends are for) you don′t mean, my lady
(That's what friends are for) Every day, every night
I'm gonna make everything alright for you and me right now
(Everybody needs one)
Oh, you know I′m right and, lady, I′m yours, all yours, all yours

(That's what friends are for)
That′s what friends are for
Come one, yall, sing it again, yeah
Come on, yall
Every day, every night
(Everybody needs one)
Oh, you know I'm right and, lady, I′m yours, all yours, all yours
(That's what friends are for)
Come on, yall, sing it again, come one
Ain′t no need to cry, oh-oh
(Everybody needs one)
Oh, you know I'm right and, lady, I'm yours
