Friends - Joan Armatrading

It’s been so long

Since I’ve seen you

My old friend

I remember your eyes

How they would shine

Those crazy times

When you and I

Fooled around

I remember the time

You fell in love

Didn’t know how

To say goodbye

To your baby

And you made me take

The goodbye note

Around

And that little girl

She cried and cried

And she asked me if

I knew exactly why

You’d gone

I told a like

I said you felt

She’d be much happier

With someone else

But then you’d do

The same for me

Remember when

We stayed out late

We’d cause a fight

But we would never stay

To the end

I loved you then

I love you still

You know I think

I always will

You’re a good friend

A good friend

To me

Who was it

Who came for me when I was

Stranded in the bad man’s land

Who was it

Who put up bail for me when I was

So desperate to get out

Who believed with me

That I was not guilty

Who gave me beer when I was thirsty

And who gave me twenty-five dollars to hold
