When your soul gets hungry
And you need somebody to feed you now
When your bearings [?] get heavy

When that old road of your own
Comes to a dead end (you need a friend like mine)
And that old stormy weather
Don't seem to end, no (you need a friend like mine)

Now, if you're searching for a silver lining (silver lining)
I know a man (know, oh yeah) that will help you find it

If you're out of tune with the song you're singing now (ooh...)

If getting up every day takes your best, yeah
(You need a friend like mine)
Just put your feet on the floor, he'll do the rest now
(You need a friend like mine)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When your heart begins to plead (starts to plead)
I know a man (oh, yeah) that will fill your every need
