That's What Friends Are For

I know that he hurt you
I know that he broke your heart in two
For while you were loving him
He was mistreating you like a fool

I can't believe he's made you cry
I can't believe he's let you down once more
But honey, you can count on me
Because that's what friends are for, yeah

And I'll be there when the rain starts to fall
Yes, I'll be there to comfort you through it all
And I'll be there
'Cos that's what friends are for

I'll take the stars out of the sky for you
Because that's what friends are for
I'll file my life if you ask me to
Because that's what friends are for

You know anything you need, I'll get for you
Because that's what friends are for
All that we've been through
You can count on me to stand by you

I know what you're thinking
But you mustn't let him back again
You got to find another love
A love that wouldn't treat you that way

One day you'll get over him
One day all the pain and the hurting will stop, stop
But until then my friend
You can cry till the last tear drop

And I'll be there to wipe away your tears
Yes, I'll be there, collect your shattered dreams
And I'll be there
I know what friendship means

I'll take the stars out of the sky for you
Because that's what friends are for
I'll file my life if you ask me to
Because that's what friends are for

You know anything you need, I'll get for you
Because that's what friends are for
All that we've been through
You can count on me to stand by you

And when I think about all the bad stuff
That he put you through
Why didn't you tell me
That he was lying and cheating on you?

Just promise me this time
That you won't back down, never come around
Don't wanna see you hurt no more
'Cos that's what friends are for

Because that's what friends are for
I don't deny, don't deny it
Because that's what friends are for
'Cos that's what friends are
Oh yeah

I'll take the stars out of the sky for you
Because that's what friends are for
I'll file my life if you ask me to
Because that's what friends are for

You know anything you need, I'll get for you
Because that's what friends are for
All that we've been through
You can count on me to stand by you

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
