BEN Lyrics Don Black. Music Walter Scharf
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.
(Ladies: You’ve got a friend in me)
Ben, you’re always running here and there (Ladies: here and there)
You feel you’re not wanted anywhere (Ladies: anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don’t like what you find
There’s something you should know
You’ve got a place to / go (Ladies: got a place to go)
Middle 8: I used to say---
I and me---
Now it’s us---
Now it’s we---
(Ladies only) I used to say---
I and me---
Now it’s us---
Now it’s we---
(Men only) Ben, most people would turn you away (Ladies: turn you away)
I don't listen to a word they say (Ladies: a word they say)
(All) 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.
(Ladies) Like Ben
(Men) Like Ben
(Ladies) Like Ben
(All) Like Ben.
