Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies Come to me when you're down I'll give you friendly advice I'll be your avenue, your trusting ear Release your deepest secrets I'll be sincere It's an age old situation There's nothing to fear Whatever life throws at you Your friend is here Right by your side When love leaves you cold Lies have been told I will be there with my open arms Hurting inside Please don't hide the pain I will be there with my open arms I know what you're saying I been there myself Promises went stale They left me for someone else Then the tables turn A lesson I had to learn I can't point my fingers cause Girls, my fingers have been burned It's an age old situation The message is clear Whatever life throws at you Your friend is here Right by your side
