Lyrics

Now, there There speaks a true friend There speaks a friend for life

You told me all the things That you think are wrong with me I just wish you'd stayed around and helped me put them right But nevertheless :

There ... mm There speaks a true friend There speaks a friend for life

You listed all the things That people cannot stand about me I just wish you'd stayed around and helped me to improve Because I've tried, I've tried Oh, I've really really tried

You say I don't know how to live (And that's true) You say I don't deserve to live Oh, where would I be without my friends to help me ? I just can't imagine where I'd be, can you ? No
