I Need a Friend

There's a song in every woman
There's a woman in every song
It's been that way since Adam and Eve
Tried to get along
And when you hear it coming
There's nothing you can do
But thank the stars up in the sky
She's singing that song to you

I need a friend
Not just a lover, don't want to be your mother, a friend
Over and over, again and again and again
From beginning to the end, I need a friend

There's a million ways to sing a song
Every woman has her own tune
Like strumming a chord on a guitar
Like howling at the moon
Sometimes you can't hear it
Sometimes it's way too low
But one thing you can be sure of
There's one thing you got to know

I need a friend
Not just a lover, don't want to be your mother, a friend
Over and over, again and again and again
From beginning to the end, I need a friend
From beginning to the end, I need a friend

So if you hear my music
If you hear my words
Just take it into your heart, y'all
And remember what you heard
There's a song in every woman
There's a woman in every song
So come on, brothers and sisters
Come on and sing along

I need a friend
Not just a lover, don't want to be your mother, a friend
Over and over, again and again and again
From beginning to the end, I need a friend
From beginning to the end…
