Ben Lyrics

Artist: Michael Jackson
Album: Ben

Ben
Michael Jackson

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
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere (anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
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
(Turn you away)
I don't listen to a word they say
(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

At the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary, Billie Gillman sang this song and it was 100% great he hit all the notes right on the spot and didn't even mess up. IT WAS THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You twits! This song is about a crazy misfit and his love of a rat that ends up killing him!

I love this song very much. I think I always will. @Steph C, thanks for sharing, that is sadly beautiful - I wish I had met my little brother too. He died when I was 2, too small to survive back in 1970.
