No New Friends Please — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

I`d like to be your friend but think of all the friends I`ve been
I never thought there`d come a day I never thought I`d hear me say
I`d disappoint you in the end no new friends please no new friends for me

Memories of old acquaitances keep on coming back
Some I met at garden parties buddies by the railroad track
I`d like to be your friend...

What we are is self-appointed there`s nothing we can do
We`d lose touch with one another and that ain`t fair to me or you
I`d like to be your friend...
