I Will Be Your Friend Lyrics by David McWilliams

Lord Offaly

0

[Chorus]
Oh, I would not be your enemy
There'd be no need to pretend
If you will only love me
I will always be your friend
I will always be your friend
[Verse 1]
Remember how it used to be, the writin' on the wall
The nights I used to wait outside of your backdoor
Remember how we used to nail old Ruby to the floor
It could all be just the way it was before
[Pre-Chorus]
The night is long
My love is strong
Could you so soon forget
Pretend we've never met?
[Chorus]
Oh, I would not be your enemy
There'd be no need to pretend
If you will only love me
I will always be your friend
I will always be your friend
[Verse 2]
Preachers in the alleyway, and Judies down the hall
Your daddy's in the boozer gettin' stoned
Do you remember how it used to be when you're sittin' home alone
With all your souvenirs, your silent telephone?
[Pre-Chorus]
The night is long
My love is strong
Could you so soon forget
Pretend we've never met?
[Chorus]
Oh, I would not be your enemy
There'd be no need to pretend
If you will only love me
I will always be your friend
I will always be your friend
[Verse 3]
So why don't you turn on the light and open up your door
And we'll pretend it's just the way it was before?
You won't be fooled again, you won't be lonely anymore
And it's the only way you'll ever know for sure
[Pre-Chorus]
For the night is long
My love is strong
Could you so soon forget
Pretend we've never met?
[Chorus]
Oh, I would not be your enemy
There'd be no need to pretend
If you will only love me
I will always be your friend
I will always be your friend
