Good-time Friend


Good-time Friend


I don't know if you're a friend or a lover

You might be both and you could be neither

I don't want commitments just a good friend

I don't know what's right or wrong

But I'll take my chances, why don't you come along?

Lend a hand and help me make my way.

A good friend to go dancing

Late-night carousing and fancy prancing

Take my hand, let me give you a whirl

Take my heart, let me share my world

It's a lonely place to be without a good friend.

Salvations come and salvations go

In through my heart and out through my soul

But I can never tell if you want to stay or go away

Doesn't it seem so easy and right

With wine and cheese and candles on a Saturday night

Or moonlit walks and late beer talks. Doesn't it seem so right?

Oh, good friend then we'd be dancing

So sweet and easy so everlasting

Take my hand and watch me smile

Take my heart if just for a while

It's a lonely place to be without a good time friend.
