Gregory Isaacs When I Needed A Friend Lyrics

When I need a friend
Now you walked out on me and thought it was my end
When I needed a friend
Lord of mercy

When I need a friend
Oh gosh

You never miss the water
Till your well runs dry
My gosh
Now you got to learn
Too late shall be your cry

When you need a friend
When you need a friend

You never too old to learn
If you play with fire
You gonna get burned
Lord of mercy
You gonna get burned

Once I used to preach it
Never stretch a * if you can't pitch it
Now you are sad and blue
Never give away the old for the new

Ahh

Now you need a fried
Lord of mercy
Now you need a friend

It's just my begining
And not my end

Now listen

You never miss the water
Till your well runs dry
Alright

And now that youve learned
Too late shall be your cry
Now you need a friend
Oh gosh
Now you need a friend

But I will forgive
But I wont forget

Now you need a friend
Lord of mercy, lord of mercy
Now you need a friend

Now that youve got a friend
Never leave again
Promise you will be true

Now you need a friend
Never leaver again
Lord of merce
Never leave again
Coz a friend is a friend
Never ever leave

Never leave again
Coz a friend is a friend
There is where you belong
