 Intro.: | | | | | -» twice

.

.

Ask me no questions

 I'll tell you no lies

 Come to me when you're down

 I'll give you friendly advice

.

.

I'll be your avenue, your, your trusting ear

Release your deepest secrets

 I'll be sincere

.

.

 It's an age old situation

There's nothing to fear

Whatever life throws at you

Your friend is here

Right by your side

.

.

Chorus

 When love leaves you cold

 Lies have been told

 I will be there with my open arms

 Hurting inside

 Please don't hide the pain

 I will be there with my open arms

 Open arms, open arms, open arms

.

.

I know what you're saying

 I´ve been there myself

 Promises withstanding

 They left me for someone else

.

.

 Then the tables turn

 A lesson I've had to learn

I can't put my fingers 'cause

 Girls, my fingers have been burned

.

.

It's an age old situation

The message is clear

Whatever life throws at you

Your friend is here

Right by your side

.

.

Repeate Chorus
