Ok, so I go out every night
And yeah, I don't come home at all sometimes
But won't you please, leave out the keys for this friend in need?
Without you
You know I ain't got a life
Without you
It's all hand to mouth
I see my hope
On the end of a rope
And it's hanging on a friend in need
Never judge a book by its cover
Don't believe all that you read
Don't take for granted that what folk'll tell ya
Is what folk'll really mean
Well, as I'm honest, straight to the point
Yeah, it was me, I did it and I'd do it again
I admit I'm a leper, expensive to feed
But I'm still a friend in need
And if you need me
Then lean on me
If you need it
Then please call me
I'll do anything for you
And that much is true, yeah
Yeah I've done it all
And I'd do it all for you
Never judge a book by its cover
Don't believe all that you read
Don't take for granted that what folk'll tell ya
Is what folk'll really mean
When you've lost your friend of a lifetime
When your summertime friend has left the scene
Won't you please think of me, well just sometimes?
Because I'll always be a friend in need
And if you need me
Then lean on me
And if you need it
Then please call me
I'll do anything for you
Oh, that much is true, yeah
Anything at all
Anything at all for you
(And if you need me)
Lean on me
(And if you need me)
Please call me
(And if you need me)
Lean on me
(And if you need me)
Please call me
