People say a lot of things
They can promise to your face
But when you need 'em walk away
Yeah people are a funny bunch
Say they care and commit
But when you need 'em, then they quit
First pre-chorus:
If people are many, then friends are few,
But I wanna know, which one are you?
I need a friend
Who can do what they say
And mean what they do
Can I rely on you?
Can I rely on you?
Not a fair weather
But a stick together through
The easy and tough times too
Can I rely on you?
Can I rely on you?
People come and people go
But I want to know
Can I, can I, rely on you?
Second verse:
People from time to time
Disappoint, let you fall
We are human, after all
But people, still can surprise
Lift you up on your feet
Give you just what you need
Second pre-chorus:
So when I am hurting or just need a hand,
Will you be one to meet me where I am?
I’m not denying
That you are trying
But when the water’s rising
When the storm is writhing
Will you still be here
As if the sun were shining?
I need a friend
Who can do what they say
And mean what they do
Can I rely on you?
Can I rely on you?
Oh can I, can I rely on-
Can I, can I rely on-
Can I, can I rely on you?
