Although you said we're through, babe
I'll always love you
You know you can depend on me

Now, mama, though someone you've met
Has made you forget, babe
You know you can count on me

Now, honey, I wish you success, loads of happiness
Now, baby, I must confess
I'll be lonely, I'll be lonely, I'll be lonely

If you ever need a friend, babe
I'll be yours till the end
You know you can depend on me
