[Lyric] Fairweather Friend Extended Edit Version (Johnny Gill)

[Intro]
Oh, baby, for you, I'll always be there, oh

[Verse 1]
You need a love that will not change
You want a lover to remain
Forever yours
Oh, but you don't have to worry
You never have to fear
Through thick and thin I'll always be here

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be your bridge over and through troubled waters
You never have to face it alone
And when the world seems to treat you unfair
Baby, for you I'll always be there

[Chorus]
I won't be no fairweather friend
I'll be there 'til the end
Even through stormy weather
Time and time again
I won't be no fairweather friend
I'll be there 'til the end
Even through stormy weather
Time and time again
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I know it's rough for you
And then there are times you're feeling blue
You've felt so much pain
Oh, but I'm the kind of person
Who can take the hurt away
You never have to suffer again

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be your strength to carry you over the mountain
To lift you up when you're falling down
Baby, be strong, you can believe in me
'Cause I'm your friend and I'll always, always, always be right there

[Chorus]
I won't be no fairweather friend
I'll be there 'til the end (Oh)
Even through stormy weather (Even through stormy weather)
Time and time again (Ooh)
I won't be no fairweather friend (Never, never, never let you)
I'll be there 'til the end (I'll never, never let you fall)
Even through stormy weather (Through the storm, through the rain)
Time and time again, ooh
I won't be no fairweather friend
(I'll lay your head on my shoulder
I'll lay your head up on my shoulder)
I'll be there 'til the end
(I'll be, I'll be)
Even through stormy weather
(I will be right there for you)
Time and time again
I won't be no fairweather friend
(Through the bad times, my baby
I'll be your sunshine)
I'll be there 'til the end
(Woo, woo)
Even through stormy weather
Time and time again
[Bridge]
Ah, ah, woo, ah, woo, ah, woo, ah, woo, ah
Oh, baby, for you I'll always be there, oh

[Chorus]
I won't be no fairweather friend
I'll be there 'til the end
Even through stormy weather
Time and time again
I won't be no fairweather friend
I'll be there 'til the end
Even through stormy weather
Time and time again
I won't be no fairweather friend
(I'm gonna be right there
I'm gonna be right by your side)
I'll be there 'til the end
Even through stormy weather
(Through the storm, through the rain)
Time and time again
(You'll never, never, never have to face no rain again)
I won't be no fairweather friend
(No rain again)
I'll be there 'til the end
(Yeah)
Even through stormy weather
(Oh baby)
Time and time again
(Baby, woo)
[Outro]
Baby, I know it's rough for you
Maybe sometimes you're feeling blue
But I won't let you, I won't let you
You're never gonna face no rain again
'Cause baby, no mountain's high enough
I'm gonna be there to lift you up
Baby, call my name and I'll be there
I'll lay your head on my shoulder
I'll lay your head up on my shoulder
I'll be, I'll be, I will be right there for you
Through the bad times, my baby
I'll be your sunshine, woo, woo
Time and time again
(Fairweather friend, 'til the end)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna never let you, gonna never let you
Never let you, never let you fall again, fall again
(Fairweather friend, 'til the end)
Fall again, baby
Oh, I'm gonna be right there, baby
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be
(Fairweather friend, 'til the end)
(Fairweather friend, 'til the end)
(I won't be no fairweather friend)
I'll lay your head on my shoulder
I'll lay your head up on my shoulder
(I'll be there 'til the end)
I'll be, I'll be
(Even through stormy weather)
I will be right there for you
(Time and time again)
(I won't be no fairweather friend)
Through the bad times, my baby
I'll be your sunshine
(I'll be there 'til the end)
Woo, woo
(Even through stormy weather)
(Time and time again)
(I won't be no fairweather friend)
I'll lay your head on my shoulder
I'll lay your head up on my shoulder
(I'll be there 'til the end)
I'll be, I'll be
(Even through stormy weather)
I will be right there for you
(Time and time again)
(I won't be no fairweather friend)
Through the bad times, my baby
I'll be your sunshine
(I'll be there 'til the end)
Woo, woo
(Even through stormy weather)
(Time and time again)
