When you're lonely, when you're blue

When you need someone to talk to

When you need a talkin' to

And when troubles full and plenty

Come pilin' at your door

That's what friends are for

Ladies and gentlemen of the whole wide world

If every now and then a single voice was heard

Telling it like it should be, makin' it simple and plain

If that man needs a helpin' hand

Help him in from the rain

Now I know you, know you well

And I know that you've been worryin'

It's not hard for me to tell

But I'm standin' right beside you

Of that you can be sure

That's what friends are for

Ladies and gentlemen of the whole wide world

If every now and then a single voice was heard

Telling it like it should be, makin' it simple and plain

If that man needs a helpin' hand

Help him in from the rain

So remember, take your time

Just be sure and let it harmonise

Yeah, be sure and let it rhyme

I might call on you to see me through

So open up your door

That's what friends are for
