[Verse 1]
There's a drunk girl in the bathroom tonight
Boyfriend on her nerves, 'cause he never treat her right
In the morning she'll forget and be back to fine
But right now she needs someone who can make her feel alright

[Pre-Chorus]
And like your favorite song
I'll be there for you if you feel alone

[Chorus]
Cause everybody needs a friend sometimes (Ooh)
A shoulder they can lean on when they cry (Ooh)
An ear that's gonna listen
When you've had it all, catch you when you fall
You can always call, cause everybody needs a friend sometimes (Ooh, Ooh)

[Verse 2]
There's a working dad and he got the blue collar blues
'Cause today he lost his job, he's afraid to break the news
Pregnant wife at home and a son to put through school
So he took the long way home, till he figured what to do

[Pre-Chorus]
Even the strongest man
Needs someone to hold their hand and understand
[Chorus]
That everybody needs a friend sometimes (Ooh)
A shoulder they can lean on when they cry (Ooh)
An ear that's gonna listen
When you've had it all, catch you when you fall
You can always call, cause everybody needs a friend sometimes (Ooh, Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
And like your favorite song
I'll be there for you if you feel alone

[Chorus]
'Cause everybody needs a friend sometimes (Ooh)
A shoulder they can lean on when they cry (Ooh)
Yeah, everybody needs a friend sometimes, yeah (Ooh)
A shoulder they can lean on when they cry, yeah (Ooh)
An ear that's gonna listen
When you've had it all, catch you when you fall
You can always call, cause everybody needs a friend sometimes (Ooh, Ooh, yeah)
