More cheese!!
The assignment this time was to write a song about friendship in the style of Randy Newman. Got shortlisted at least. Didn't think it would make it that far.

V1
You need a friend to
Be with you when it rains
Forget your troubles
Stay inside and play a game
Say anything
And the feeling doesn’t change
Your friend will say they feel exactly the same
CH
Oh let that friend be me
Let that friend be me
I’ll stick beside you
‘cross every stormy sea
Let the friend be me
V2
You need a friend
When the going gets tough
You need a friend
Who never says they’ve had too much
Just be yourself they say
‘Cause that’s ok with me
You’re beautiful and wonderful
And it’s the only thing I see
CH
Oh let the friend be me
Let that friend be me
I’ll stick beside you
Til eternity
let that friend be me
Bridge:
When you have a friend
you don’t worry ‘bout a thing
They’ll be driving to your house
Right through a hurricane
No matter what you’ve done
You never take the blame
Without a friend like that
Life is just a crying shame
CH
So let the friend be me
Let that friend be me
I’ll stick beside you
Til eternity
let that friend be me (repeat)
