[Verse 1]
When you're lonely, friends are there
When you're empty, friends will share
When you're feelin' sad, they really care
'Cause that's what friends are for!

[Chorus]
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
When you really need them, they'll be there
Yeah, that's what friends are for

[Verse 2]
When there's a book that you just can't read
If there's something special that you really need
You don't have to beg and plead
'Cause that's what friends are for!

[Chorus]
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
When you really need them, they'll be there
Yeah, that's what friends are for

[Bridge]
When you've got a new toy and you want to play
That's what friends are for
When you're really bored on a rainy day
That's what friends are for
[Verse 3]
If you wanna dance but you've got no beat
If you're hungry and you want to eat
Just call your friends and you can meet
'Cause, that's what friends are for!

[Chorus]
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
When you really need them, they'll be there
When you really need them, they'll be there
When you need them, they will be there
Yeah, that's what friends are for!
