The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said "hello" and I said "hi"
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up (caught up)
In physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby, you were more than just a face

And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you

(I swear the next time she'll be a friend, oh yeah)
If I say that I can be your one and only
Promise that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need (need)
I just wanna be the one who serves you (serve you)
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share

And if I ever (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you

My friend
Very next time, she'll be my friend
Someone who I can believe in
My friend
Very next time, she'll be my friend
Someone who I can believe in
My friend
Very next time, she'll be my friend
Someone who I can believe in
My friend
Very next time, she'll be my friend

And if I ever fall (ever fall)
In love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall (ever fall)
In love so true (so true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
