How many times have you felt alone
Nobody comes by or telephones
Turn off the TV cause there's nothin' on
Tune in the radio, and hear a lonely song
Call on your friends, they'll help you through
Hard times with lovers, or just when you're blue
Don't take them for granted, show them you care
Then when you need them, they'll always be there
When I was younger, I let my friends slide
Had me a lover, and stayed right by her side
But then she left me, and I found out right then
A valuable lesson, don't forget you're friends
Call on your friends, they'll help you through
Hard times with lovers, or just when you're blue
Don't take them for granted, show them you care
Then when you need them, they'll always be there
Now I know better, I cherish my friends
Some are so crazy, and some are God sends
Choose your friends wisely, and keep this in mind
Love comes and goes, but true friends are hard to find
Call on your friends, they'll help you through
Hard times with lovers, or just when you're blue
Don't take them for granted, show them you care
Then when you need them, they'll always be there
