The very first time   That I saw your brown eyes   Your lips said hello and I said hi   I knew right then you were the one   But I was caught up   In physical attraction   But to my satisfaction   Baby you were more than just a face      And if I ever (ever fall) in love again (again)   I will be sure that the lady is a friend   And if I ever (ever fall) in love so true (true)   I will be sure that the lady's just like you      Oh, yeah, the very next time she'll be my friend      If I say that I will be your one and only   (promise, promise) Promise that you'll never leave me lonely   I just wanna be the one you need   Oh, baby   I just wanna be the one who serves you   Sometime I feel as if I don't deserve you   I cherish every moment that we share      chorus      Very next time she will be my friend   Someone who I can believe in      (my friend)   I need someone who'll be my friend   (my friend)   To be with me through thick and thin   (my friend)   Please share my love with me my friend   I need someone like you      chorus
