Chorus:
Gotta find a way somehow
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gotta find a way somehow
Even though you're gone

Things don't look as bad
As they did yesterday
Even minute I get
Stronger somehow...some way
Cause I gotta keep on living
I got the will to survive
Even though I feel so bad
So bad inside

Chorus:
Gotta find a way somehow
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gotta find a way somehow
Even though you're gone

All the plans I had
I've got to give them up
And start anew
Making plans for one
Instead of making plans for two
From now on I'll be thinkin
Thinking 'bout myself
It'll be a long time
Before I love somebody else

[Chorus]

I depended on you
For everything
Oh, I really trusted you
How could you do me the
Way you did
You really let me down

[Chorus]

AIN'T NOTHIN'LIKE THE REAL THING, BABY
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, NO ,NO
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, BABY (AIN'T NOTHIN')
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING

OOH, I'VE GOT YOUR PICTURE HANGIN' ON THE WALL
BUT IT CAN'T SEE OR COME TO ME
WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME (WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME)
I REALIZE IT'S JUST A PICTURE IN A FRAME

I READ YOUR LETTERS WHEN YOU'RE NOT NEAR
BUT THEY DON'T ME AND THEY DON'T GROOVE ME
LIKE WHEN I HEAR (WHEN I'M IN YOUR ARMS)
YOUR SWEET VOICE WHISPERING IN MY EAR (IN MY EAR)

NO OTHER SOUND
IS QUITE THE SAME AS YOUR NAME (QUITE THE SAME AS YOUR NAME)
NO TOUCH CAN DO HALF AS MUCH TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER
SO LET'S STAY TOGETHER

OOH, I'VE GOT MEMORIES (MEMORIES)TO LOOK BACK ON
THOUGH THEY HELP WHEN YOU'RE GONE
I'M WELL AWARE (I'M WELL AWARE)
NOTHIN' CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF YOU BEING THERE (BEING THERE)

AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL, BABY (AIN'T NOTHIN'
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, OOH BABY
REPEAT & FADE

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
[ Find more Lyrics on link ]
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

Sadness had been close as my next of kin
Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was

Happy, that's you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lam was I, till you came in
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
(Till now)

Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until Happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Till now

Happy, yeah yeah
Happy, oehoe happy

happy oh yeah Happy
[fade out]
