You're My Friend
Eels · Wonderful, Glorious [2013]
You done a lot of things for me
And I won't forget them
Do you know how you mean to me?
You are my friend
And no matter what I'm doing you
You are there for me
Without you
My ship will surely drift out
Lost at sea
Just when I think I've handed you too much
You always find away
To come through the clutch
And you don't know me
Feel like I ow you
But I do
You're my friend
From the day we meet
Till the bitter end
I don't know how
I could have made it any other way
Yeah, you're my friend
Comin' through again
And again
Your good will
I never will betray
Sweet charity
All the nice things you for me
I can't forget them
Do you know how much that means to me?
Sweet charity
No matter how I screw up
You are there for me
Without you I can't say
How untalked days would be
Just when think I hated you too much
You always find away
To come through the clutch
And you don't know me
Feel like I ow you
But I do
You're my friend
From the day we meet
Till the bitter end
I don't know how
I could have made it any other way
Yeah you're my friend
Comin' through again
And again
Your good will
I never will betray
Just when think I hated you too much
You always find away
To come through the clutch
And you don't know me
Feel like I ow you
But I do
You're my friend
From the day we meet
Till the bitter end
I don't know how
I could have made it any other way
Yeah, you're my friend
Comin' through again
And again
Your good will
I never will betray
You're my friend
