look it's happened once again

it happens ev'ry now and then

feeling the hurt and hatin all the men

ready to stop it all

that's when i need a friendly face

to see me through these lonely days

just to put some sunshine in my place

don't take too long i need you

here i am i haven't gone that far away

and since i am the kind of friend you know

would stay with you through all the pain

never to leave you in the rain ready to listen to what you've been through

your woes and blues and share each other's

points of view we've been there once before and kept our points of view

it doesn't really matter if they're never quite the same

we have our rules in diff'rent ways

we play the games of diff'rent folks with diff'rent strokes

and keep our points of view

see the world seems bright again

it only darkens now and then

most of the time there's just no telling when

look up and see you've got me

here we are we may have gone our diff'rent ways

but since we are the kind of friends who'll always stay

no matter what the pain learnin to love that cap o'rain

ready to say we're here to stay in ev'ry way

although we've got our diff'rent

points of view

we've been there once before

and kept our points of view

it doesn't really matter if

they're never quite the same

we have our rules in diff'rent ways

we play the games of diff'rent

folks with diff'rent strokes

and never really change our

points of view

we've been there once before

and kept our points of view

it doesn't really matter if

they're never quite the same

we have our rules in diff'rent ways

we play the games of diff'rent

folks with diff'rent strokes

and keep our points of view
