Over and over and over, time and time again
You can't be nobody's lover
You can't be nobody's lover
Til you're somebody's friend, ah baby

Until you're somebody's friend, woo-hoo
Find yourself a friend, find yourself a friend
Find yourself a friend
Makes no difference what shape you're in
Makes no difference what shape you're in
