[Verse 1]
We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Turned each other on to the good things that life has to give

[Verse 2]
We drift apart for a little bit of a spell
One night, I get a call and I know that you're well
And days I was down, you would help me get out of my hole

[Bridge]
Oh
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Let's be friends

[Verse 3]
You told me when my girl was untrue
I loaned you money when the funds weren't too cool
I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair

[Verse 4]
We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Dip-dip-a-lee, dip-dip-a-lie
Dip-dip-a-lou, dim-dee-I-O
