(I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend - Bonnie Raitt

Fate is mighty cruel

Where true love is concerned

It seems you give out more

Than you ever have returned

Lately I have tried

To make it on my own

Another nite has passed

Looks like Im bound to be alone

Bound to be alone

Now solitude is fine

When you really need it When your soul is dry

Sometimes loneliness can feed it When you need a lover

You know theres nothin else will do When you need love most

You know it turns its back on you

Oh, I can make it thru without your company

I only wish I knew why you wont comfort me I thot that I could count on you

To hear me cryin out

I guess thats one comfort

I will learn to do without

Fallin love too easily

But never quite so fast

so you are not the first and, lord

You sure wont be the last

The thing about the situation

That makes me feel so sad

I couldve been the best old friend

That you have ever had

I couldve been the best old friend

That you have ever had
