You came to me, hand on your broken heart For a shoulder to cry on You came to me looking for a confidante And a friend you could rely on Friendships border relationships And I'm showing signs of strain It's the same old story with the same old script Only now the rules have changed CHORUS : Baby, I'm a friend in need And I really need to be loved by you You got me so that I can't see Baby, I'm a friend indeed, a friend in need of love You asked for advice and security And I tried to sound mature But how can my words reach maturity When my heart's so insecure 'Cos friendships border relationships And it's so hard to define But you cannot plead immaturity When you cross the borderline Friends may come, friends may go But love will always stay Dreams become reality When friends and dreamers give their hearts away I know that the last thing you're looking for Is a casual affair But if we get involved We may just solve our mutual despair CHORUS TO FADE
