Song for a Friend
What's that I hear you say
All she ever did was take
You don't know what I saw in her
But there's a point I got to make
Sister, didn't see you around
When I felt so alone
She's the one was there for me
I couldn't make it on my own
So don't you mess around
And let this woman be torn down
Cause she was looking out
When you could not be found
She was right on time
She was a friend of mine
So don't you mess around
She was a friend of mine
No, you wouldn't judge her
You were never in her place
And I know that you would fail
If you stood here face to face
There's no trying to convince me
Of what I should believe
She's the one who gave a damn
And I could never leave
So don't you mess around
And let this woman be torn down
She was looking out
When you could not be found
She was right on time
She was a friend of mine
So don't you mess around
She was a friend of mine
Although she's gone
She's my friend for life
Friend for life
Don't you talk her down
Cause she's not around
To defend herself
Don't you mess around
I don't want to hear what you have to say, no
Cause she was here
When you could not be found
She was right on time
She was a friend of mine
So don't you mess around
She was a friend of mine
She was right on time
She was a friend of mine
