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 (true)
  I will be sure that the lady's just like you
  
  Oh, yeah, the very next time she'll be my friend
  
  If I say that I will be your one and only
  (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 who serves you
  Sometime I feel as if I don't deserve you
  I cherish every moment that we share
  
  chorus
  
  Very next time she will be my friend
  Someone who I can believe in
  
  (my friend)
  I need someone who'll be my friend
  (my friend)
  To be with me through thick and thin
  (my friend)
  Please share my love with me my friend
  I need someone like you
