The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said "Hello" and I said "Hi"
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby, you were more than just a face

And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you

Oh, yeah, yeah, y-y-y-yeah
The very next time she'll be my friend
If I say that I could be your one and only
(Promise, promise, promise)
Promise that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need, oh baby
I just wanna be the one to serve you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share

And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you

My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
I need someone who'll be my friend
(Someone who I can believe in)
My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
To be with me through thick and thin
(Someone who I can believe in)
My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
Please share my love with me my friend
(Someone who I can believe in)
My friend
(The very next time she will be my friend)
I need someone like you

And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
