Talkin about a real friend
Set your mind at ease baby
Ain't nothin wrong with that

Verse:

I guess we both have seen some brighter days
Somehow the love we've shared has slipped away
Still I wanna be the one who keeps ya safe and harm
Let me be the one

Although things with me and you didn't quite work out
For you there's a special place deep in my heart
Though I wanna extend my unconditional love
Let me be the one

Chorus

If you need a friend
Let me be the one
Someone that you call
Wanna be the one through it all
You don't have to fall
Just let me be the one
Let me be the one

Verse:

Promises made they've all worn paper thin
Still honey I'm not afraid to call you friend
Take a look and I know you'll see
The possibilities
Let me be the one

To see you smile
There's nothing I won't do
Cause honey I only want what's best for you
You are a shining star
Just stay the way you are
Let me be the one

Chorus

Jazz solo

Chorus

Adlib:

Let me be
Let me be
Let me be
Oh-oh let me be

Bridge (2x):

Wanna be the one you need
Let me set you mind at ease
Nothin wrong with being a friend
Wanna be til the end
