Say what's wrong my long time friend?
Something's bothering you
Tell me what the problem is
I'll see what I can do
There are times we disagree
We agree more than we don't (yeah)
We won't always see eye to eye
But we will more than we won't

'Cause we got friendship
The kind that lasts a lifetime
Through all the (those) hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine
We got friendship
The kind that lasts a lifetime
Through all those hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine

You wanna sing one? (Oh) or no?

Talk to me old pal of mine
If you feel you can't go on
Don't you sweat, it ain't over yet
This bond we share is strong

I've been where you are right now
You saw me through it all
I leaned on you, now you can lean on me
I bet I won't let you fall

'Cause we got friendship
The kind that lasts a lifetime
Through all the hardship
You know, you're a friend of mine
'Cause we got friendship
The kind that lasts a lifetime
Through all those hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine

If you're on the street, I'll take your hand
If you're hungry I'll give you food (yeah)
If it's money you need, I've got some saved
If you're sick I'll visit you

I've been where you are right now
You saw me through it all
I lean on you, now you can lean on me
I bet I won't let you fall (I'll never let you fall)

'Cause we got friendship
The kind that lasts a lifetime
Through all the (those) hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine
We got friendship
The kind that lasts a lifetime
Through all those (the) hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine (oh Lord)

Through all the hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine
Through all the (those) hardships
You know, you're a friend of mine
