My Friend - Tony Joe White

Just a tag along

Always in the way

You was so silly then

My friend

The patter of your feet

Followed me down the street

But I didn’t know you then

My friend

From pigtails and playing with dolls

And all those childish things

You’ve became a woman

With all the beautiness it brings

When I had my chance

I didn’t make my plea

I was so foolish then

My friend

But now you’re the star of the show

But you don’t notice me

Oh how things might have been

My friend

Now I remember when you use to follow me round the block

Huh and I’d chase you away

Now I wonder why I couldn’t see that you changed your childish ways

And you become a woman and uh what a woman!

Just a tag along

Uh you was always in my way

You was so silly then

My friend

The patter of your feet

Uh you followed me down the street

But I didn’t know you then

My friend
