Song for a Friend

Well you're magic he said
But don't let it all go to your head
'Cause I bet if you all had it all figured out
Then you'd never get out of bed
Well, no doubt
Of all the thing's that I've read what he wrote me
It's now sounding like the man I was hoping
To be
I keep on keeping it real
'Cause it keeps getting easier he'll see
He's the reason that I'm laughing
Even if there's no one else
He said, you've got to love yourself

You say, you shouldn't mumble when you speak
But keep your tongue up in your cheek
And if you stumble on to something better
Remember that it's humble that you seek
You got all the skill you need
Individuality
You got something
They call it gumption
They call it anything you want
Because when you play the fool now
You're only fooling everyone else
You're learning to love yourself

Yes you are, you are, yes you, you, you

And there's no price to pay, no, no
When you're givin' what you take
That's why it's easy to thank you
You, you
You, you, you

Let's say you take a break from our day
And gettin' back to the old garage
Because life's too short anyway
But at least it's better then average
As long as you got me
And I got yo, you know we'll got a lot to go around
I'll be your friend, your other brother
Another love to come and comfort you

And I'll keep reminding
If it's the only thing I ever do
I will always love you
You, you, you
You
(It's true my love, it's true, it's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love)
(It's true my love, it's true, my love, it's true, it's you I love)
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love)

Oh, it's you I love
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love)
(It's true my love, it's true, my love, it's true, it's you I love)
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love) (it's you I love, I love, I love)

It's you I love, I love, I love
It's you I love, I love, I love
It's you I love, I love, I love

Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control, inevitably wind up
Find out for yourself all the strengths you have inside still rising
