Whenever I need a friend,

It's you I come round to see again,

You know that I'll always be near,

You're flesh and blood and you're my memory,

Live on in my memory.



I send you nothing but love,

Just wait and see,

I send you nothing but love,

Just wait for me,

Wait and see,

Wait and see.



Great words, you know all the right words to say,

You don't always lean in my way,

You don't always mean what you say.



Whenever I need a friend,

It's you I come round to see again,

An' everything that you do,

Is everything I will ask of you,

You could ask me too.



I send you nothing but love,

Just wait an' see,

I send you nothing but love,

Just wait for me,

Wait and see,

Wait and see.



Great words, you know all the right words to say,

You don't have to lean in my way,

We don't have to mean what we say.
