You want me to be your friend
Stick by you through thick or thin

What’s in it for me
What’s in it for me?

You’d like me to deal you in
Hold your hand right to the end

What’s in it for me
What’s in it for me?

You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him
This ain’t for me
This ain’t for me

You want someone you can trust
You want love , you don’t want much

What’s in it for me
What’s in it for me

You want my name on the line
I don’t feel that way inclined

What’s in it for me
What’s in it for me?

You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him
This ain’t for me
This ain’t for me.
