She's My Best Friend

I run at things too fast Only give them half a chance- Say what you want, what you will But it's true I'm far too lazy I do enough but nothing more I like to drink, I like to play- Do you too? You never know Just what the blues are like Until you take A taste of the sweet life I found an angel A reason to smile- A best friend Until I knew her I never knew What a woman can do- Did what she want, did what she will- Is it true? She holds her own, she holds mine too We do a marry dance Do what we want, do what we will- Do you too? I brush her hair And it crackles with the static- I never meant to kiss her It was purely automatic She's my angel She's my Betty Blue She's my best friend Her fingers drumming time, drumming time Drumming on my heating heart I got it good, I've got it bad- It's true, uh-huh You never know Just what the blues are like Until you take A taste of the sweet life I found an angel A reason to smile- A best friend She's gone She's out of sight She's my love me tender My P. G. fright My lady day in the dead of night My best friend She's my best friend
