Carly Simon - We Your Dearest Friends Lyrics
We, your dearest friendsAre having dinner without youWe're witty and we use it to be viciousIn just another minuteWe'll laughing about youTo the untrained eyeIt wouldn't look suspiciousWe, your dearest friendsDon't really care if you have needsYour hopes and dreamsAre trivial by your standardsWe make fun of how you singAnd then we imitate your speechAnd the stupid thingsYou say we like to slanderBut we won't reel you out too far'Cause after all, we need you forOur ongoing questWe've bonded here in faithlessnessTo undermine your happinessToying with your paranoiaEverything you do annoys usIt annoys usWe remember howYou bought us all those giftsYou liked to make us thinkYou were so generousBe careful in the futureOf everything you say and do`Cause it can and will be usedAgainst you by usWe your dearest friendsJudge you "guiltyHere and nowOf thinking you're a starWhen it's all overNobody wants youAnd we the least of allIt's been a long time sinceYou had those famous loversBut we won't reel you out too far`Cause after all, we need you forOur ongoing questWe've bonded hereIn faithlessnessTo undermine your happinessToying with your paranoiaEverything you do annoys us(it annoys the hell out of us)It's not the strawNo, it's the final straw you'll sayFinally you've grown a sturdy backboneThere'll be no invitation toYour rocky coast this yearYour queenly voice willIce us down the telephoneYou'll never guess who's joining usFor brandy later onThat's right, it's your bete noir from hellThat's whoAre you worried we might spill the beansAre you worried we might tellAbout your little visit to the bin whenyou were cuckoo?But we won't reel you out too far`Cause after all, we need you forOur ongoing questWe've bonded here in faithlessnessTo undermine your happinessToying with your paranoiaEverything you do annoys usIt annoys usToying with your paranoiaYou have an unforgiveable personalityUnforgettable, yesWe were so happy once in the Garden ofthe Finzi-ContinisOh, yes we wereNever more, never moreHere comes the waiterWe'll just put it on your house chargeYou'll never know the differenceNever notice
