Ben, the two of us need look no zaidi
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And wewe my friend will see
And you've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
wewe feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If wewe ever look behind
And don't like what wewe find
There's something wewe should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)
I used to say 'I' and 'me'
Now it's 'us' now it's 'we'
(I used to say 'I' and 'me')
(Now it's 'us' now it's 'we')
Ben, most people would turn wewe away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see wewe as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)

Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me
tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev'rywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
If they say-
Why, why, tell 'em that it's
human nature
Why, why, does he do me
that way
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way
(Instrumental section)
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's moyo begins
to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
Repeat Chorus (Ad-lib/fade-out)

I have never heared of this song untill I actually looked at the HIStory album.
