Friends Not Lovers

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 --- Friends Not Lovers - Joan Armatrading
