That's When, You'Re Going To Need a Friend

(That's when) you're going to need a friend When your love's got up and left you And... you feel like you want to die. And... you've given up on just believing... you don't even want to try. Isn't that right, now, man? You feel so worthless, like you can't go on No matter what you do, everything feels wrong You don't know where to go, or what is real you only know she's gone and the way you feel Bridge (you know) I know the feeling I've felt that way too I feel your pain I really do Just call my name that's all you've got to do,'cause Chorus When times are tough... that's, when you're going to need a friend Oh yeah, when times are, when times are tough... that's, when you're going to need a friend. I'll try my very best to help you to see your value as a man when you love yourself it set's you free that's when you understand Can't you see? There's just so much more that you need to know Like, show your feelings to her 'cause that's how her love grows Tell her you love her each and every day I'm telling you what you've got to do If you want her to stay Go to bridge Go to chorus repeat twice fade John Derek Hamilton October 28,2016

Thanks Daniel, lyrics come easy, music takes more time, but eventually they will all have melodies. I usually have a melody in mind when I write, question is always finding someone to sing and produce, that's the hard part.
