My Russian Friend And I

The lover a girl needs to get in her life Is one who’ll let her forget she’s a wife He’ll fill her with dreams and the courage of queens Show her what it means to fly He won’t need to hear ya to know that you’ve cried Shows you compassion but knows that you’ve lied Stays with you all through the loneliest hours And is gone when morning comes But at least he’ll make it til morning Oh my Russian friend and I We’ll take life in our stride No fight I can’t fight If I feel him by my side Such fire in his kiss Such science in his stare Makes you feel the drop beneath the tightrope isn’t there With him, I’m invincible With him, I’m strong With him, I feel guilt But not a guilt that’s wrong My Russian friend and I My one shot in the dark My lone alibi All the suspicions and all of the fears Make every night last a couple of years The one empty chair and the untrodden stare Tell ya love’s elsewhere tonight So you take the comfort of strangers Oh my Russian friend and I We’ll take life in our stride Sundance if he’s butch I’ll be Bonnie, if he’s Clyde So when the fighting starts The toughest blows begin Those that strike the heart But don’t show up on the skin I am too invincible to give a damn I am too invincible to give a damn Here am I again My friend With you Convincing me that I am too invincible to give a damn Or maybe less aware how vincible I am My Russian friend and I Defender, crush, and spy Is mud in your eye
