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
And 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

Produit par Hal Davis
Teachers ’re on strike no more school today
They want more money but the board won’t pay
(People)
Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout ecology
The air’s so polluted that it’s hard to breathe
(People)
But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and down, the carrousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go round
Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear
They swear you’re a hippy if you have long hair
Young politicians fight for poverty
While people still cry for equality
But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and down, the carrousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go round
But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and down, the carrousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go round

Everybody’s somebody’s fool
The world is the biggest school
As you live you learn
Though a torch will burn
Everybody’s somebody’s fool
You go through life
Making fools of others
Pretending you’re giving them love
But remember, sister or brother
You all have to answer to the one up above
It’s beautiful to watch love begin
But, oh, so sad when it ends
As you go through life
Remember this rule
Everybody’s somebody’s fool
It’s beautiful to watch love begin
But, oh, so sad when it ends
As you go through life remember this rule
Everybody’s somebody’s fool

I’ve got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside
I’ve got the month of May

I’ve got so much honey
The bees envy me
I’ve got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, talking ’bout my girl
I love my baby
She makes me feel proud
I’ll climb the highest mountain
And sing out loud
I don’t need no money, yeah
Fortune or fame
I’ve got all the riches, baby
One man can claim
Well, I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, talking ’bout my girl

Produit par Hal Davis
What goes around, yeah
Comes around, yeah
I got my eyes on you for three long years
When noone else wanted you
I took you in
And held you near
But then you drifted away
After you said you’d always stay
How could you be so mean and untrue
He didn’t want you until he’d seen
What my love did for you, yeah
Ooh baby, what goes around comes around
I knew it soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down
Now you’re the clown
And you want me to come back home
I calmed your love affair
For three long years
Remember I used to care
When you were down
I dried your tears
Who did you think was the fool
I let you treat me so cool
This is the moment of truth for you
Do you think your playing is true
I don’t think I can trust you
Ooh baby, what goes around comes around
I knew it soon be gone
Yeah baby, he put you down
Now you’re the clown
And you want me to come back home
IN OUR SMALL WAY
Écrit par Beatrice Verdi et Christine Yarian
Arrangé par The Corporation et Eddy Manson
Produit par The Corporation
Maybe you and I can’t do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Empty words are not enough
Where there’s hurt
We’ll be a crutch
When there’s a thirst
We’ll fill each other’s cup
Because we care
We love enough to share
Maybe you and I can’t do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
In despair we’ll be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
We’ll be there to share each lonely road
Because we love
I know we care enough
Maybe you and I can’t do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make, you’ll see
Love is all we need
Maybe you and I can’t do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way

Ben, toi et moi on n'a plus besoin de chercher
On a tous les deux trouvé ce qu'on cherchait
Avec un ami qui est le mien
Je ne serai jamais seul
Et toi, mon ami, tu verras
Je suis ton ami
Ben, tu cours toujours partout,
Tu as l'impression qu'on ne te veut nulle part
Si jamais tu regardes derrière toi
Et que tu n'aimes pas ce que tu vois,
Il faut que tu saches quelque chose,
Il y a un endroit où tu peux aller
Avant je disais
"Je" et "moi"
Maintenant c'est nous
Maintenant c'est nous
X2
Ben, la plupart des gens te repoussaient
Moi je n'écoute un seul mot de ce qu'ils disent
Ils ne te voient pas comme moi je te vois
Je regrette qu'ils ne le fassent pas
Sinon ils réfléchiraient
S'ils avaient un ami comme Ben
Comme Ben
Comme Ben
Le Plus Beau Spectacle Sur Terre
(Greatest Show On Earth)
L'amour est comme un cirque
Et le Carnaval est beau à voir
L'amour peut te faire tourner la tête
Comme les grandes roues et les manèges
Tu seras une partie du monde
En faisant croire
Que tu peux voler aussi haut qu'un trapéziste
[Refrain]
Chaque jour est un jour de vacance
Prend ton tiquet et vas-y
L'amour, l'amour, l'amour
Est le plus beau spectacle du monde
Le rêve que tu vois est comme celui que voit un enfant
A travers l'arc-en-ciel de ses yeux colorés
Tiens toi bien, c'est l'heure du cirque
Et fais qu'aujourd'hui ton argent vale de l'amour
Tu seras une partie du monde
En faisant croire
Que tu peux voler aussi haut qu'un trapéziste
[Refrain]
Tu Peux Pleurer Sur Mon Épaule
(You Can Cry On My Shoulder)
Juste parce que tu sais je t'aime tellement
Ne sois pas effrayée de me dire que tu es triste
Parce que tu as perdu son amour
Bien que ton amour ne soit pas pour moi
Je ne veux pas te voir dans la misère, alors viens bébé, viens
[Refrain]
Tu peux pleurer sur mon épaule...
Tu peux pleurer sur mon épaule
Et m'apporter tous tes troubles
Tous tes troubles à moi
Les grandes filles ne sont pas supposées pleurer
Si tu le fais je comprendrai
Peut-être que je peux te montrer comment tu peux regagner son amour
Ça peut paraître étrange, je sais
Mais c'est juste que je t'aime
Alors viens bébé, viens
[Refrain]
Fille Tu lui a donné tout ce que tu avais
Alors il ferait mieux darrêter de te traiter comme ça
Alors viens bébé, viens, Oh yeah
[Refrain]
Tu peux pleurer sur mon épaule, oui tu peux fille
Tu peux pleurer sur mon épaule
Et m'apporter tous tes troubles, yeah bébé, oui tu peux maintenant
Chérie, ooooh, ooooooh oui, oui tu peux (fille)...
Je serais là pour t'aider
Tu peux pleurer, Tu peux pleurer, Tu peux pleurer
Bébé
(tu peux pleurer sur mon épaule)
Ooooooh yeah bébé, yeah bébé
(tu peux pleurer sur mon épaule)
Tu peux pleurer, tu peux pleurer...
Tu peux pleurer sur mon...
