Ben是Michael Jackson的第一首个人冠军单曲也是他少年时期的唯一冠军曲（美国），Michael用他那年少的还没有变声的嗓音展现了他的演唱功力。这首歌是由Walter Scharf和Donald Black作词谱曲，出自Michael的第二张个人专辑《Ben》。

"Ben"是一首让人第一次听上就无比喜欢的歌曲，Michael用缓慢、柔情的声音掀开了序幕，之后他的声音逐渐上扬，达到高潮，使得歌曲起伏有致、扣人心弦。这首仅仅两分钟多的歌曲，令人难以置信地仿佛游历了一次音乐之行。此曲是Michael Jackson在摩城时期最为成功的个人单曲，在其个人演艺生涯当中具有重要的意义。

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

(Turn you away)

I don't listen to a word they say

(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
