Elton John - Old Friend Lyrics
Duet with nik kershawWritten by nik kershawAvailable on the album duetsI want to be good, I want to be strongBut I treated him bad, Ive done him wrongIve taken his money, Im given him hellAnd he takes it all cause he knows me wellWe can say what we mean and mean what we sayWe dont like to mess aroundBut were there to hold each other upWhen were falling downJust like an old friendPutting me on my feet againGiving me back my pride thenLetting me goJust like an old friendPutting me in my place againGiving me back my hope thenLetting me know that hes an old friendI dont suffer no fools *i testify*But he must be one for being by my sideIve broken his heartIve shaken his treeBut still he doesnt want anything from a fool like meWe wont talk for a year or twoMaybe when we do we wont say muchEven so we know that out of mind is never out of touchWere having a man-to-manDont want to get sentimentalBut both of us understandWell never have to say goodbye, just see you later
