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

chorus
