Best Old Friend — текст песни (Bonnie Raitt)

Fate is mighty cruel
Where true love is concerned
It seems you give out more
Than you ever have returned
Lately I have tried
To make it on my own
Another nite has passed
Looks like Im bound to be alone
Bound to be alone

Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know theres nothin else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns its back on you

Oh, I can make it thru without your company
I only wish I knew why you wont comfort me
I thot that I could count on you
To hear me cryin out
I guess thats one comfort
I will learn to do without

Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
so you are not the first and, lord
You sure wont be the last
The thing about the situation
That makes me feel so sad
I couldve been the best old friend
That you have ever had
I couldve been the best old friend
That you have ever had
