Friend In Need - Barbara Dickson

You came to me, hand on your broken heart

For a shoulder to cry on

You came to me looking for a confidante

And a friend you could rely on

Friendships border relationships

And I’m showing signs of strain

It’s the same old story with the same old script

Only now the rules have changed

Baby, I’m a friend in need

And I really need to be loved by you

You got me so that I can’t see

Baby, I’m a friend indeed, a friend in need of love

You asked for advice and security

And I tried to sound mature

But how can my words reach maturity

When my heart’s so insecure

'Cos friendships border relationships

And it’s so hard to define

But you cannot plead immaturity

When you cross the borderline

Friends may come, friends may go

But love will always stay

Dreams become reality

When friends and dreamers give their hearts away

I know that the last thing you’re looking for

Is a casual affair

But if we get involved

We may just solve our mutual despair

CHORUS TO FADE
