Lyrics

Oooh you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Oooh you make me live now honey
Oooh you make me live

Oh you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh you're my best friend

Oooh you make me live

Oh I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend

Oooh you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Oooh you make me live now honey
Oooh you make me live

You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend

Oooh you make me live

I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh you're my best friend
Oooh you make me live
You you're my best friend
