Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say I and me
Now it's us, now it's we
I used to say I and me
Now it's us, now it's we
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be along
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You got a place to go

I used to say "I" and "Me"
Now it's "Us:, Now it's "We"
[Repeat]

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben...

Ask me a question I'll tell you all I know
You ask for my advice
And then you take a different road
You traveled oh so far
Left everyone who cared far behind
Left us all behind

How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there

I'll never know what you were thinking on that night
You saw him on the road and took the angel for a ride
He gave you confidence as you yearned for your own praise
Then took your soul away

How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there

Take a different road
Take a chance to know
There's so much more than winning
Take a different way
Wait another day
Now it seems that it's too late and...

How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there
