Everybody needs a best friend in this world We all need one good thing in this cruel cruel world That we can count on all of our lives You sounded so alone last night and I could not help but cry I wanted to reach out to you and just make everything all right I wish that I could show you just how much I truly care All my life I promise to be there I would be your best friend in the world I would be the one true thing in this untrue world And I will hold you all through the night I will be the best friend to you girl You can tell me all those things that you can't tell the world And I will listen all through the night I would've given anything just to wipe all your tears away I would've walked for miles and miles all you had to do was say If you needed me by morning light, know that I'm on my way Cause all my life I promise to be there
Cause I would be your best friend in the world I would be the one good thing in this cruel cruel world That you can count on all of your life I will be the best friend to you girl You can show me all those things that you hide from the world And I will be here for the rest of your life When life's hard to understand I'm gonna reach out my hand to you Hold on and you'll see how much I care Cause everybody needs a best friend in this world We all need one good thing in this cruel cruel world That we can count on all of our lives Cause I wanna be the best friend in the world I wanna be the one true thing in this untrue world Yes I will hold you all through the night I wanna be the best friend to you girl Can I be the one good thing in this cruel cruel world Yes I will be here for the rest of your life
