In the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there, got to be there
Bring her good times
And 表示する her that she's my girl
Oh what a feeling there'll be
The moment I know she loves me
'Cause when I look in her eyes I realize
I need her sharing her world beside me
So I've got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And 表示する her that she is my girl
When she says, "Hello world!"
I need her sharing the world beside me
That's why I've got to be there
Got to be there where 愛 begins
And that's everywhere she goes
I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me, she's ホーム
Got to be there
Got to be there

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
(you've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
あなた feel you're not wanted anywhere
If あなた ever look behind
And don't like what あなた find

There's something あなた 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 あなた away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see あなた 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) Like Ben

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh または cry
I don't know whether to live または die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that 愛 won't wait
Now I've learned that 愛 needs expression
But I learned too late
And she's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
I kept my 愛 for her locked deep inside
And It cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
Ooo
