You've Got a Friend
Letra:
[English]
- Like, I said, this is a tune that Carole wrote
and I recorded it on my most recent album
'cause I really like it.
And since a lot of other people seem to like it too,
they pulled it for a single, for whatever that's worth.
Let's see.

-
And you need some love and care
➔ Uso de "some" con sustantivos incontables.

➔ Tiempo futuro con "I'll" (I will) y participio presente "runnin'" como adjetivo. Pronunciación informal de running.
