(I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend

Fate is mighty cruel Where true love is concerned It seems you give out more Than you ever have returned Lately I have tried To make it on my own Another nite has passed Looks like Im bound to be alone Bound to be alone Now solitude is fine When you really need it When your soul is dry Sometimes loneliness can feed it When you need a lover You know theres nothin else will do When you need love most You know it turns its back on you Oh, I can make it thru without your company I only wish I knew why you wont comfort me I thot that I could count on you To hear me cryin out I guess thats one comfort I will learn to do without Fallin love too easily But never quite so fast so you are not the first and, lord You sure wont be the last The thing about the situation That makes me feel so sad I couldve been the best old friend That you have ever had I couldve been the best old friend That you have ever had
