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
And you’ve got a friend in me
(You’ve got a friend in me)

Ben, you’re always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you’re not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
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
(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 you away
I don’t listen 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
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben

Love is like a circus
And the carnival is beautiful to see
Love can turn your mind around
Like ferris wheels and spinning carousels

You’ll be a part of the world
Of make believe
Flying high like a man on a trapeze

Oh, everyday is a holiday
Get your ticket right away
Love, love, love
Is the greatest show on earth

The fantasy you see is like a child again
Through rainbow colored eyes
Step right up it’s circus time
And get your money’s worth of love today

You’ll be a part of the world
Of make believe
Flying high like a man on a trapeze

Everyday is a holiday
Get your ticket right away
Love, love, yeah

Teachers ’re on strike no more school today
They want more money but the board won’t pay
(People)
Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout ecology
The air’s so polluted that it’s hard to breathe
(People)

But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and down, the carrousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go round

Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear
They swear you’re a hippy if you have long hair
Young politicians fight for poverty
While people still cry for equality

But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and down, the carrousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go round

But that’s what makes the world go round

Everybody’s somebody’s fool
The world is the biggest school
As you live you learn
Though a torch will burn
Everybody’s somebody’s fool

You go through life
Making fools of others
Pretending you’re giving them love
But remember, sister or brother
You all have to answer to the one up above

It’s beautiful to watch love begin
But, oh, so sad when it ends
As you go through life
Remember this rule
Everybody’s somebody’s fool

I’ve got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside
I’ve got the month of May
Well, I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, talking ’bout my girl

I’ve got so much honey
The bees envy me
I’ve got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, talking ’bout my girl

I love my baby
She makes me feel proud
I’ll climb the highest mountain
And sing out loud
I don’t need no money, yeah
Fortune or fame
I’ve got all the riches, baby
One man can claim
Well, I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, talking ’bout my girl

What goes around, yeah
Comes around, yeah

I got my eyes on you for three long years
When noone else wanted you
I took you in
And held you near
But then you drifted away
After you said you’d always stay
How could you be so mean and untrue
He didn’t want you until he’d seen
What my love did for you, yeah

Ooh baby, what goes around comes around
I knew it soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down
Now you’re the clown
And you want me to come back home

I calmed your love affair
For three long years
Remember I used to care
When you were down
I dried your tears
Who did you think was the fool
I let you treat me so cool
This is the moment of truth for you
Do you think your playing is true
I don’t think I can trust you

Ooh baby, what goes around comes around
I knew it soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down
Now you’re the clown
And you want me to come back home

Your precious sweetheart
She’s so faithfull
She’s so true, oh yeah
Her dreams are tumblin’
Her world is crumblin’
Because of you, uh huh
One day you’ll hurt her
Just once too much
And when you finally lose your tender touch

Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-dee
You’re gonna send your baby straight to me

I’m gonna give her all the lovin’
Within’ my heart, oh yeah
I’m gonna patch up
Every single little dream
You torn apart
Understand me now
And when she tells you
She’s cried her last tear
Heaven knows
I’m gonna be somewhere near

Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day
Her feet may wander
Her heart may stray
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-dee
That’s gonna send your baby straight to me

Oh yeah-heah, you better
You better listen to me, yeah

Heartaches are callin’ and tears are fallin’
Because of you, oh yeah
And when you’re gone
She’ll know I’m the one to go to her rescue
Maybe you didn’t know that, baby
You’re gonna leave her one too many times
And when you come back
That girl’s gonna be mine, all mine
