Don't be afraid to cry your tears out loud
Everybody needs to have a friend
It's only love that I can give
And I give to you the only love I have
When I see you're so unhappy
It makes me want to try and understand
Everybody needs a helping hand
If everything should turn around
And it's me who feels so down and out
You could be the kind of company
To share a load and know how bad it feels
Everybody needs to have a friend
