Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are created
The other half right away
Takin' all the cash and leavin' you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctor's on strike, what you need is a rest
It's not easy, love, but you've got friends you can trust
[Verse 2]
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love, they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cause friends will be friends
Right till the end
[Verse 3]
Now, it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down, but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're gettin' used to life without him in your way
It's so easy now 'cause you got friends you can trust
[Verse 4]
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love, they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cause friends will be friends
Right till the end
[Verse 5]
It's so easy now 'cause you got friends you can trust
[Verse 6]
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love, they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand, friends will be friends
Right till the end
[Verse 7]
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love, they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cause right till the end
Friends will be friends
Yeah, yeah
