Now, there 
There speaks a true friend 
There speaks a friend for life 
You told me all the things 
That you think are wrong with me 
I just wish you'd stayed around and helped me put them right 
But nevertheless : 
There ... mm 
There speaks a true friend 
There speaks a friend for life 
You listed all the things 
That people cannot stand about me 
I just wish you'd stayed around and helped me to improve 
Because I've tried, I've tried 
Oh, I've really really tried 
You say I don't know how to live 
(And that's true) 
You say I don't deserve to live 
Oh, where would I be without my friends to help me ? 
I just can't imagine where I'd be, can you ? 
No
