Ben (Live at the Forum, 1972) Lyrics

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me

Ben, you're always running in vain
You feel you're not wanted anyway
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
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 used to say "I and me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away
I'm not listening to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben

Like Ben
Like Ben
