There speaks a true friend

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 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)
