I can be friends with you
There is no better friend
That a man can know
I can be friends with you
And I feel so special
'Cause it's you I know

I don't know the governor
Even though I'm a resident
I don't rub shoulders with the dignities
Or shake hands with the President
But I know I can be with You
And I don't have to wait in line
You're the Author and Creator of all the world
And a personal friend of mine

I can be friends with You
There is no better friend
That a man can know
I can be friends with You
And I feel so special
'Cause it's You I know

When I have a problem
I can always come to You
Regardless of the situation
I know You know what to do
You put Your arm around me
And You speak so tenderly
And I feel better just to know You care
And You took the time for me
I can be friends with You
There is no better friend
That a man can know
Ooh-ooh...
I can be friends with You
And I feel so special
'Cause it's You I know

Greater love has no man than this
That a man lay his life down for his friends
But You laid it down for all the world to see
And You proved Your love for me

I'm no special person
I got nothing to offer You
But You treat me like I'm the only one
With whom You have to do
You're closer than a brother
And You're with me every day
And I love You 'cause You first loved me
And I'm glad that I can say

I can be friends with You
There is no better friend
That a man can know
Ooh-ooh...
I can be friends with You
And I feel so special
'Cause it's You I know
I can be friends with You
There is no better friend
That a man can know
Ooh-ooh...
I can be friends with You
And I feel so special
'Cause it's You I know

I can be friends with You
There is no better friend
That a man can know
Ooh-ooh...
I can be friends with You
And I feel so special
'Cause it's You I know...
