Joan Armatrading — Friends lyrics

Lyrics

I remember your eyes how they would shine
Those crazy times when you and I fooled around
I remember the time you fell in love
Didn’t know how to say goodbye to your baby
You made me take the goodbye note around
And that little girl, she cried and cried
She asked me if I knew exactly why you’d gone
I told a lie, I said you felt
She’d be much happier with someone else
But then you’d do the same for me Remember when we stayed out late
We’d cause a fight but we would never stay to the end
I loved you then, I love you still, you know I think I always will
You’re a good friend, a good friend to me Who was it, who was it, who was it, who was it Came for me when I was stranded in the bad man’s land
Who was it, who was it, who was it Who put up bail for me when I was so desperate to get out
Who believed with me that I was not guilty
Who gave me beer when I was thirsty
And who gave me twenty-five dollars to hold
I loved you then, I love you still
You know I think I always will
You’re a good friend, a good friend to me for so long
