You're a sweet, sweet heart,
you've been a real good friend
You've been around when I'm down
Though it could never be said
and you keep all of the good in mind
And I thought I'd have to admit
that the feeling all was gone, oh yeah
But you just closed your mind
to all the seeds of doubt
And somehow you found a way
Oh, baby, you're a sweet, sweet heart
Yeah, you've been a real good friend,
You've got a way of looking at me
That sends a special message my way,
And what this message means
Hey, any old fool can see
And the thing that makes me feel so good
That you're doin' it just for me
Oh, baby, you're the sweetest,
And you've been a real good friend,
You've been around every time I'm down
And I know it could never be said
To all of my folks, you are blind
But you overlook the bad,
and you keep all the good
I said you keep all of the good,
all of the good, the good in me
and you're my real good friend,
Well now, you're always around
