"Ben"
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 toi 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)
toi feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If toi ever look behind
And don't like what toi find
There's something toi should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)
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 toi away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see toi 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)
