You need all the friends you can get
Concept: Carol Cayley. Lyrics: Rob Walker.© positivespin 2002


(Verse 1)
Some people hurt others with sticks and with stones
With punching and hitting they break all their bones.
Now that kind of violence can get you in Court
But there's hurt and there's pain of a different sort

(CHORUS)
That's gossip!
Vicious rumours.
Talkin' 'bout people
Behind their back.

That's gossip!
Spreadin' rumours
A heartless dog in a vicious pack.

(Bridge)
You need all the friends you can get
When there's trouble, who will you call?
If you can't say nothin' nice
It's better to be nice
And say nothin' at all.

(Verse 2)
They say "What goes 'round comes 'round"
And you know what to do
Those bad words shot like arrows
Come back and stick in YOU

Repeat (CHORUS) and (Bridge)

You need all the friends you can, need all the friends you can get.
