Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got this friend
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hidden his heart away
Oh, I've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back
[Verse 2]
Oh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, if the right one came along
[Verse 3]
Ooh, I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his
Ooh, I've got this friend
Holding on to her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give
[Verse 4]
Oh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, if the right one came along
[Verse 5]
It'd be such a shame (If they never meet)
She sounds lovely (He sounds right out of a dream)
If only (If only)
If only
[Verse 6]
Oh
Oh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh (Oh, I've got this friend)
If the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh (Oh, I've got this friend)
If the right one came along
