Friends And Buddies

[Verse 1]
Let me introduce myself to you (What's your name?)
I'm just a man who's tryin' to make it, too (Tell me your name)
I'm sure that if you hear me through

[Hook]
Then we'll be friends, and friends, and friends
And friends and buddies

[Verse 2]
Maybe I grew up a lot like you (A lot like you)
Sturggling with my troubles day by day (Day by day)
Never having much time to play

[Hook]
But we'll be friends, and friends, and friends
And friends and buddies

[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm tellin' you now, that's what there is to me
Just a man who's tryin' hard to be
I'd say hello if we should ever meet
Not be afraid to walk down any street
That's who I am, that's what there is to me
That's who I am, that's what there is to me
That's who I am, that's what there is to me
That's who I am, that's what there is to me
Hey

[Verse 4]
You make some progress and you're tryin' hard (Tryin' hard)
You say you got a lot of problems still (Problems still)
If can help you out, you know I will

[Hook]
'Cause we'll be friends, and friends, and friends
And friends, and buddies

[Verse 5]
So let me introduce myself to you (What's your name?)
I'm just a man who's tryin' to make it, too (Tell me your name)
I'm sure that if you hear me through

[Hook]
Then we'll be friends, and friends, and friends
And friends and buddies, now

[Verse 6]
Come on, let's be friends, you and I, now
Come on, let's be friends
Come on, I can understand
Come on, just give me your hand
Be a friend, be a friend of mine
I'm the best thing you'll ever find
Come on, be a friend of mine
Let me introduce myself to you
Let me show just what I can do

[Outro]
Come on, brother
Come on, sister
Come on, brother
