Story behind the song
Just a simple song, offering friendship to the people in one's life who may need it.
Lyrics
If You Need A Friend It's so hard to trust, so hard to trust We scrutinise intentions, is it tenderness or lust It's so hard to know, so hard to know If someone's caring spirit is a pose about to go Chorus; But if you need a friend Who'll make you feel at ease I'll talk and share a coffee with you Any time you please If you need a friend Who doesn't want to take I'll always do my best to soothe Wherever you may ache. It's so hard to break, so hard to break Away from those who've hurt us with our foolish pride at stake It's so hard to see, so hard to see How feelings are ephemeral and they feed our vanity Chorus It's so hard to win, so hard to win When we've let somebody get right under our skin It's so hard to let, so hard to let Go of something precious which we never could forget. Chorus
