Be Your Friend

(album: Wright Back At You - 1983)

Hey you, I just wanna be your friend
Open your heart and let me in
'Cause I just wanna be your friend

Now, every man needs a woman as a friend he can just talk to
And I know that I can be that kind of woman to you
So I'm asking you to try and trust me
If you don't try, you'll never know what it can be
Other women let you down in the past
But I'm different, so I know as friends we'll last

Hey you (you, you), I just wanna be your friend
(Be your friend, be your friend, be your friend)
Open your heart and let me in (let me in, let me in, let me in)
'Cause I just wanna be your friend (be your friend)

Now, don't you want someone to tell your secrets to
That you know won't tell (know won't tell)
And when (and when) they see you pushing forward
They wish you well
Oh, a friend's love doesn't change with the wind
When they hurt you, they apologize and start again
So let's get started on this new relationship
Seal it now with a kiss upon my lips, oh!

Baby, you know that I just wanna be, be your friend
Open up your heart and let my love come in

Hey you (you, you), I just wanna be your friend
(Be your friend, be your friend, be your friend)
Open your heart and let me in (let me in, let me in, let me in)
'Cause I just wanna be your friend (be your friend)

I just wanna, I just wanna (you, you)
I just wanna, I just wanna
(Be your friend, be your friend, be your friend)
Be your friend (let me in, let me in, let me in)
Said you could use a friend like me (be your friend)
I'm honorable and I'm trustworthy
I wanna be your friend (you, you)
I just wanna be your friend
(Be your friend, be your friend, be your friend)
Won't you let me be, won't you let me be
(Let me in, let me in, let me in)
Won't you let me be... your friend (be your friend)
I just wanna be your friend (you, you) ooh!
Said I just wanna be your friend
(Be your friend, be your friend, be your friend)
I just wanna, I just wanna (let me in, let me in, let me in)
I just wanna, I just wanna (be your friend)
I just wanna be your friend, ooh-ooh
I just wanna be your friend, be your friend
I just wanna be your friend, we'll be closer again
I just wanna be your friend
I just wanna, I just wanna (I just wanna be your friend)
Be your friend (I just wanna be your friend)
Said let me, let me, let me, let me, let me...
