jrs1013's right...
Ben was originally realeased by Michael Jackson. I think in 1972. It was a huge hit for him at the time. I was 12 and remember when it came out. I still have the '45.
Fox....you are also probably right about the
Smashing Pumpkins doing it for the new version of
Willard. On the previews they've been showing, the song doesn't sound like it was sung by Jackson, but I could be wrong. ^_^;;;
SexyC....here are the lyrics to Ben. BlackPlague...is this the one you are looking for?
Ben
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
I don't listen to 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
