1. I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
With me every day till I pass away
I've been sitting here
Frightened stiff with fear
Love has brought it on
And it must go on
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines.

[Chorus:]
And here we are, here we are
All alone for me to take
And here you are, here you are
All alone for me to take.

2. Fell in love today
Little words to say
Let us close the door
That's what doors are for
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines
I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines.
