Let me be the one you call on, When all you need is a place to stay
Don't even hesitate to ask me, For a smile on a bad day
If you're feeling down come round, We can talk about James Brown
Reminiscing on the years gone by, My oh my don't the time just fly

If you need my opinion
I'll tell you all right
Don't even worry bout a damn thing
Cos you'll be all right

Even if you feel your ship's sinking
There's another way of thinking
Be positive cos negative is sure to keep you down
And I'll be around

If you need me you can just reach out
If you want me don't be afraid to shout
Have no worries I'll be your brother
You're family to me can't you see
You've got a friend

Of all the lonely people in this world
You can count yourself out
If you have a problem to solve
Count me in no doubt

Anytime you need peace of mind
Don't be shy Just pass on by
Don't even worry bout a damn thing
Cos you'll be all right

If you need me you can just reach out
If you want me don't be afraid to shout
Have no worries I'll be your brother
You're family to me can't you see
You've got a friend

I wonder how many people sit down alone
No rhyme or reason without a home

I don't know the answer
But one thing I know for sure
You don't have to worry
Cos you have got a friend
Oh yeh yeah
I'll be your brother hmm

Anytime you're down come on round
We can talk about James Brown
Reminiscing on the times gone by
My my my

If you need me you can just reach out
If you want me don't be afraid to shout
Have no worries I'll be your brother
Yeh yeh mmm
