|
I never paid him much attention |
|
He was a private kind of man |
|
He never gave a lot away to me |
|
But he must have had it all |
|
Laid out from the start |
|
Now he's on the television every night |
|
People talk about him all the time |
|
It makes me wonder what I've been doing |
|
All these years |
|
To lose that friend of mine |
|
He's a made man |
|
He wears the badge of honour |
|
Everything fell right into place |
|
He's got the numbers to prove it |
|
And the girl on his arm has perfect taste |
|
People come and go in your life |
|
I don't care much any more |
|
I count my friends on one hand at a time |
|
Try to keep the wolf from the door |
|
What goes around comes around every time |
|
Gossip won't change the behaviour |
|
Of anyone who's got an axe to grind |
|
It won't bring back that friend of mine |
|
He's a made man |
|
He wears the badge of honour |
|
Everything fell right into place |
|
He's got the numbers to prove it |
|
And the girl on his arm has perfect taste |
|
So if you've got that midas touch |
|
Br careful not to care too much |
|
For friends just have that certain way |
|
Of holding on too long |
|
He's a made man |
|
He wears the badge of honour |
|
Everything fell right into place |
|
He's got the numbers to prove it |
|
And the girl on his arm has perfect taste |
|
I never paid him much attention |
|
He was a private kind of man |
|
He never gave a lot away to me |
|
But he must have had it all |
|
Laid out from the start |
|
Now he's on the television every night |
|
People talk about him all the time |
|
It makes me wonder |
|
What I've been doing all these years |
|
To lose that friend of mine |
