Old Friend

<br>I want to be good, I want to be strong<br>But I treated him bad, I`ve done him wrong<br><br>I`ve taken his money, I`m given him hell<br>And he takes it all `cause he knows me well<br><br>We can say what we mean and mean what we say<br>We don`t like to mess around<br>But we`re there to hold each other up<br>When we`re falling down<br><br>Just like an old friend<br>Putting me on my feet again<br>Giving me back my pride then<br>Letting me go<br>Just like an old friend<br>Putting me in my place again<br>Giving me back my hope then<br>Letting me know that he`s an old friend<br><br>I don`t suffer no fools *I testify*<br>But he must be one for being by my side<br>I`ve broken his heart<br>I`ve shaken his tree<br>But still he doesn`t want anything from a fool like me<br><br>We won`t talk for a year or two<br>Maybe when we do we won`t say much<br>Even so we know that out of mind is never out of touch<br><br>We`re having a man-to-man<br>Don`t want to get sentimental<br>But both of us understand<br>We`ll never have to say goodbye, just see you later
