Lyrics:

When I was sinkin'
There was one who stuck around
She dared to stand with me and my ground

Now, I've been thinking
About where you say I'm bound
These words
Do hurt
You bring me down

A friend
A friend
Just like a friend
You're telling me I'm her
Means to an end

A friend
A friend
Just like a friend
Don't bother me with this
This great pretend

You're lookin' deeply
Findin' more than meets the eye
Some things
Seem foul
If never tried

What's strange to me is
Why you should care at all
Don't ask
Not here
While smirkin' 'bout the ace up your sleeve

Don't bother me with this
This great pretend
It won't get you anywhere
Anyway
I'm not ashamed of
Th' life that I lead
And I'm not the one with strange needs
No

A friend
A friend
Just like a friend
You're telling me I'm her
Means to an end

A friend
A friend
Just like a friend
Don't bother me with this
This great pretend

A friend
A friend
Just like a friend
You're telling me I'm her
Means to an end

A friend
A friend
Just like a friend
Don't bother me
Don't bother me
