One of My Friends

I have no God these days
But I’ll tell you about one of my friends
His laughter rings around my head
And I open up to warm him
And oh, he gives me nothing, for this one deals in nothing
And for a moment I wanted nothing more than to please him
You know I’ve got to get away from this
He’s one of my friends
The way he slips inside me
Cools me like the ripping tide
And oh, he gives me nothing, for the devil deals in nothing
And for a moment I wanted nothing more than to please him
Don’t listen to me
Don’t listen to me, child
I’m not a mother, I’ll never be a mother
If I could only be, like you, a child
I’d hold you like a mother
Hold me like a mother
Hold me like a mother
You know I’ve got to get away from this
He’s one of my friends
The way he slips inside me
Cools me like the ripping tide
And oh, he gives me nothing, for the devil deals in nothing
And for a moment I wanted nothing more than to please him
Don’t listen to me
Don’t listen to me, child
I’m not a mother, I’ll never be a mother
If I could only be, like you, a child
I’d hold you like a mother
Hold me like a mother
Hold me like a mother
