Ben, the two of us need look no more

We both found what we were looking for

With a friend to call my own

I’ll never be alone

And you, my friend, will see

You’ve got a friend in me

(you’ve got a friend in me)

Ben, you’re always running here and there

You feel you’re not wanted anywhere

If you ever look behind

And don’t like what you find

There’s something you should know

You’ve got a place to go

(you’ve got a place to go)

I used to say “I” and “me”

Now it’s “us”, now it’s “we”

I used to say “I” and “me”

Now it’s “us”, now it’s “we”

Ben, most people would turn you away

I don’t listen to a word they say

They don’t see you as I do

I wish they would try to

I’m sure they’d think again

If they had a friend like Ben

(a friend) Like Ben

(like Ben) Like Ben
