Lyrics
V1: There was a time when I could see inside your heart, your life was torn all apart and all your dreams had faded away.
Now the look on your face tells me I'm glad to be someone you call a friend, a friend who will be there with you thick and thin.
(CH)"What if I couldn't pay my taxes?" - 3X
(Would I still be your friend, would you still lend a hand, would you still be in love with me?)
V2: Your heart is mine, every time I touch you on your skin, I feel the tingle that sparks up your life and you come back tome once again.
Now the look on your face tells me I'm glad to be someone you call a friend, a friend who will be there with you thick and thin.
