[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & Akon]
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)

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & Akon]
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)

[Bridge: Michael Jackson & Akon]
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"

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson & Akon]
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

[Outro: Michael Jackson]
Like Ben
Like Ben
Like Ben
