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

rate me

Fate is mighty cruel<br />

Where true love is concerned<br />

It seems you give out more<br />

Than you ever have returned<br />

Lately I have tried<br />

To make it on my own<br />

Another nite has passed<br />

Looks like I'm bound to be alone<br />

Bound to be alone<br />

<br />

Now solitude is fine<br />

When you really need it<br />

When your soul is dry<br />

Sometimes loneliness can feed it<br />

When you need a lover<br />

You know there's nothin' else will do<br />

When you need love most<br />

You know it turns it's back on you<br />

<br />

Oh, I can make it thru without your company<br />

I only wish I knew why you won't comfort me<br />

I thot that I could count on you<br />

To hear me cryin' out<br />

I guess that's one comfort<br />

I will learn to do without<br />

<br />

Fallin love too easily<br />

But never quite so fast<br />

So you are not the first and, lord<br />

You sure won't be the last<br />

The thing about the situation<br />

That makes me feel so sad<br />

I could've been the best old friend<br />

That you have ever had<br />

I could've been the best old friend<br />

That you have ever had
