How Many Friends — текст песни (Who)

I`m feelin` so good right now
There`s a handsome boy tells me how I changed his past
He buys me a brandy
But could it be he`s really just after my ass?

He likes the clothes I wear
He says he likes a man who`s dressed in season
But no-one else ever stares, he`s being so kind
What`s the reason?

How many friends have I really got?
You can count `em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that`ll take me as I am?

Suddenly it`s the silver screen
And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out
Everybody hears me
But I look like a fool now
With a cry and I shy out
She knows all of my friends
But it`s nice to find a woman who will still relate
Now I think I`ve reached the end
I wonder in the dead of night - how do I rate?

How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that`ll take me as I am?

It`s all like a dream you know
When you`re still up early in the morning
And you all sit together to watch the 1 come through
But things don`t look so good
When you could use a bit of warning
Then you know that no-one will ever speak the truth about you

How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that`ll take me as I am?

When I first signed a contract
It was more than a handshake then
I know it still is
But there`s a plain fact
We talk so much shit behind each other`s backs
I get the willies
People know nothing about their own soft gut
So how come they can sum us up
Without suffering all the hype we`ve known
How come they bum us up

How many friends have I really got?
You can count `em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that`ll take me as I am?
