I'd like to be your friend but think of all the friends I've been I never thought there'd come a day I never thought I'd hear me say I'd disappoint you in the end no new friends please no new friends for me Memories of old acquaitances keep on coming back Some I met at garden parties buddies by the railroad track I'd like to be your friend... What we are is self-appointed there's nothing we can do We'd lose touch with one another and that ain't fair to me or you I'd like to be your friend...
