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

(repeat)
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

BY MY SIDE
Tonight I saw an eclipse of your smile within my own reflection
On your look, so beautiful then
A tear ran down my face, all my memories erase
Oh, why'd you have to leave my side

Oh, why do all the rivers flow into the ocean?
And why does all the love in the world come straight from the heart?
And why does all the pain I feel come from deep inside?
Oh, all those questions I could have answered ... if you were by my side

Maybe something made me look at you,
Maybe something made me do what I had to do what I had to do
Maybe something made me talk to you,
Maybe something made me do what I should do

I want you by my side
(I want you by my side)
(I want you by my side)

Now everyday the pain I feel slowly fades away
And all the memories of you and me are always here to stay
What I'm asking, girl, is one more chance to let me in your life
Oh, girl, if you give me one more chance ... then I could be
right by your side

Maybe something made me look at you
Maybe something made do what I have to do, girl
Maybe something made me talk to you
Maybe something made me do what I should do

I want you by my side
(I want you by my side)
(I want you by my side)
