The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've got this friend
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hid in his hardened way
Oh, I've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along
I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his
Oh, I've got this friend
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along
It'd be such a shame
(If they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(He sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(If only)
If only
Ohh
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came, along
