Lyrics

[00:15.60] I want to be good, I want to be strong
[00:20.76] But I treated him bad, I've done him wrong
[00:25.75] I've taken his money, I'm given him hell
[00:30.80] And he takes it all 'cause he knows me well
[00:35.35] We can say what we mean and mean what we say
[00:41.04] We don't like to mess around
[00:45.44] But we're there to hold each other up
[00:49.94] When we're falling down
[03:12.21][02:15.74][00:54.58] Just like an old friend
[03:15.11][02:19.78][00:59.06] Putting me on my feet again
[03:20.10][02:24.66][01:03.98] Giving me back my pride then
[03:25.09][02:29.53][01:08.89] Letting me go
[03:26.95][02:31.55][01:10.65] Just like an old friend
[03:47.11][03:30.75] Putting me in my place again
[03:38.01][01:19.10] Giving me back my hope then
[03:40.44][01:24.01] Letting me know that he's an old friend
[01:35.94] I don't suffer no fools *I testify*
[01:40.63] But he must be one for being by my side
[01:46.40] I've broken his heart
[01:48.88] I've shaken his tree
[01:51.01] But still he doesn't want anything from a fool like me
[01:56.24] We won't talk for a year or two
[02:00.32] Maybe when we do we won't say much
[02:06.07] Even so we know that out of mind is never out of touch
[02:35.86] We're having a man-to-man
[02:42.05] Don't want to get sentimental
[02:48.25] But both of us understand
[02:52.11] We'll never have to say goodbye, just see you later
