That's What Friends Are For Lyrics - The Staple Singers

Now just because I have you 

You don't have to break your back to pay me back 

Now, I don't give just to receive 

I was taught at a Sunday school at the age of three 

Now don't be ashamed, if you need me call my name 

Has it ever occurred to you, that's what friends are for 

If you can go to your friend 

Then why don't you let your friend come to you 

You know that I got two and you got one 

I'm not talking about the way it seems but the way it's done 

Don't be ashamed, if you need me call my name 

Has it ever occurred to you, that's what friends are for 

Your next of kin might be bold enough 

To say I got mine brother, why don't you get yours 

Now, when you see the blind leading the blind 

They might not be getting away but you know they're trying 

Don't be ashamed, if you need me call my name 

Has it ever occurred to you, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, oh yeah, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for 

That's what friends are for, that's what friends are for
