Lyrics (I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend - Bonnie Raitt

(I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend

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
