Any Time You Need a Friend

If you have a need to call me I won’t read into it any more Than the need to talk to someone Who has been there once before Don’t worry about imposing If you have a text message you want to send I want to be there to help you out Any time you need a friend If you have a need to hug me I won’t read into it any more Than the need to simply be held tight When you feel like falling to the floor Don’t worry about mixed messages You’re afraid that it might send I want to be there to help you out Any time you need a friend If you have a need to kiss me I won’t read into it any more Than the need to feel good inside As verification that you’re adored Don’t worry about teasing me If the kiss is where you know it must end I want to be there to help you out Any time you need a friend If you have a need to sleep with me I won’t read into it any more Than the need for a night of passion When there’s no lover for you to score Don’t worry about leading me on And feeling like you now have to pretend I want to be there to help you out Any time you need a friend But, if you want me to read much more In these actions that you take If you wonder why I don’t pick up on the clues And worry that my friendship is just a fake Simply tell me you want me to be Much more than just your friend And I’ll be glad to be much more for you Never to wear these restraints again
