Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped
And the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash
And leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love
But you've got friends you can trust

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 cos friends will be friends
Right till the end

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 getting used to life
without him in your way
It's so easy now cos you got friends you can trust

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 cos friends will be friends
Right till the end

It's so easy now cos you got friends you can trust
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

(Friends will be friends)
When you're in need of love
To give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life
And all hope is lost
Hold out your hand cos right till the end
Friends will be friends
Yeah yeah reach that high
