Now, there   There speaks a true friend   There speaks a friend for life      You told me all the things   That you think are wrong with me   I just wish you'd stayed around and helped me put them right   But nevertheless :         There ... mm   There speaks a true friend   There speaks a friend for life         You listed all the things   That people cannot stand about me   I just wish you'd stayed around and helped me to improve   Because I've tried, I've tried   Oh, I've really really tried         You say I don't know how to live   (and that's true)   You say I don't deserve to live   Oh, where would I be without my friends to help me ?    I just can't imagine where I'd be, can you ?    No
