Lyrics That's What Friends Are For - Steve Goodman

How to hide your feelings is the first thing that you learn
When you cannot tell the truth to whom it may concern
When you fall in love with your closest friend
And she′s not in love with you
You get caught in the middle
That she can't pretend that she feels the same about you

But whenever someone breaks her heart
She comes knocking at your door
And she knows she can count on you
After all that′s what friends are for

Friends are the ones who hold you up
When the whole world is letting you down
Friends are the ones you turn to for love
When lovers can't be found

I wish I knew how to tell her
I'm her friend and something more
But some things are better left unsaid
And, after all, that′s what friends are for

I′m her friend and something more
But some things are better left unsaid, after all
That's what friends are for
