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



(chorus)

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 be lonely

I just wanna be the one you need

Oh, baby



I just wanna be the one who serves you

Sometimes 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) (2X
