I like the way you're not afraid You got the world planned in your mind People say you cannot do well 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 Many times I've gone without a home a meal A pair of shoes' if you had three you'd give me two There ain't no other friend like you
