Good Friend Songtext
von Violent Femmes

If only you could know
How I′d love you so
The way good friends do
The way I would be you
And me too, I'd be your

Good friend, I′d be your
Good friend, I'd be your
Good friend
That's what I would′ve been

Oh, but every time I turn around
My heart′s on the mend
These feelings I have, I have to suspend
Seem like every time I turn around
My heart's on the mend
′Cause I don't think you want me
To be your good friend


Yesterday is a laugh
And the traumas slip past
And I don′t think
I'll be doing a lot of crying
But I sure do my share of sighing

I would have been your
Good friend, I′d been your
Good friend, I'd be your
Good friend
That's what I would′ve been

Oh, but every time I turn around
My heart′s on the mend
These feelings I have, I have to suspend
Seems like every time I turn around
My heart's on the mend
′Cause I don't think you want me
To be your good friend

And I′m not just talking about somebody like a friend (good friend)
You see every once in a while and say hello to (good friend)
I'm talkin′ about your very, very good friend (good friend)
Somebody who'll always be there (good friend)
Somebody who won't let you down (good friend)
D-d-down like I was let down


Your good, good, good friend (good friend)
Oh such a, such a good, g-good friend (good friend)
Oh such a, such a good, g-good friend (good friend)

Oh such a, such a good, g-good friend (that′s what I would′ve been)
Oh such a, such a good, g-good friend (that's what I would′ve been)
Oh such a, such a good, g-good friend (that's what I would′ve been)
Oh such a, such a good, g-good friend (your g-g-g-g-good friend)

Oh such a, such a good, g-good friend
Oh such a, such a good
