Lyric - Ben

Ben

Written by Don Black and Walter Scharf

Recorded by Michael Jackson

Motown 1972

Ben, the two of us need look no more 

We both found what we were looking for 

With a friend to call my own 

I'll never be alone 

And you, my friend, will see 

You've got a friend in me 

(you've got a friend in me) 

Ben, you're always running here and there 

You feel you're not wanted anywhere 

If you ever look behind 

And don't like what you find 

There's one thing you should know 

You've got a place to go 

(you've got a place to go) 

I used to say "I" and "me" 

Now it's "us", now it's "we" 

I used to say "I" and "me" 

Now it's "us", now it's "we" 

Ben, most people would turn you away 

I don't listen to a word they say 

They don't see you as I do 

I wish they would try to 

I'm sure they'd think again 

If they had a friend like Ben 

(a friend) Like Ben 

(like Ben) Like Ben
