Lyrics

Sometimes I get so worried
I don't know what to do
But all of the things I worry about
Very few of them come true
And when they do I call on you

Every time I get crowded
Sometimes I just can't breathe
I try not to think about it
When I feel it coming over me
I know exactly what I need

Ain't no doubt about it
I'll always be your friend
Ain't no doubt about it
I can count on you to the end

Sometimes I feel like talking
And then I don't know what to say
Sometimes I have the answers
But my questions get taken away
That's when I always call your name

Ain't no doubt about it
You'll always be my friend
Ain't no doubt about it
I can count on you at the end

Ain't no doubt about it
I'll always be your friend
Ain't no doubt about it
I can count on you at the end

Every time I get worried
When I don't know what to do
I think of all the things I've worried about
How few of them ever came true
If that don't work I call on you
