She's My Best Friend

I run at things too fast
Only give them half a chance-
Say what you want, what you will
But it’s true
I’m far too lazy
I do enough but nothing more
I like to drink, I like to play-
Do you too?
You never know
Just what the blues are like
Until you take
A taste of the sweet life
I found an angel
A reason to smile-
A best friend
Until I knew her I never knew
What a woman can do-
Did what she want, did what she will-
Is it true?
She holds her own, she holds mine too
We do a marry dance
Do what we want, do what we will-
Do you too?
I brush her hair
And it crackles with the static-
I never meant to kiss her
It was purely automatic
She’s my angel
She’s my Betty Blue
She’s my best friend
Her fingers drumming time, drumming time
Drumming on my heating heart
I got it good, I’ve got it bad-
It’s true, uh-huh
You never know
Just what the blues are like
Until you take
A taste of the sweet life
I found an angel
A reason to smile-
A best friend
She’s gone
She’s out of sight
She’s my love me tender
My P. G. fright
My lady day in the dead of night
My best friend
She’s my best friend
