Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber

Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest

It´s not easy love, but you´ve got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you´re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you´re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand ´cos friends will be friends - right till the end

Now it´s a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a ´phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number

As a matter of fact
You´re getting used to life without him in your way

It´s so easy now, ´cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you´re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you´re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand ´cos friends will be friends - right till the end

It´s so easy now, ´cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends

When you´re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you´re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand - friends will be friends - right till the end

Friends will be friends
When you´re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you´re through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand ´cos right till the end - friends will be friends
Yeah yeah
