The Slackers – Dave's Friend lyrics

i'm not your enemy, i'm the friend that you need
i'm not your enemy, i'm the friend that you need
it was never my intention to drive you away
you choose your own direction, to where i can't say
i heard that things are ending, and you're hiding from me
you think that i sold you out, but thats all in your mind,
all in your mind

chorus:
it may be a long time,
a long time indeed
i may not be the friend you want,
but i'm the friend that you need

do you think i have forgotten when you helped me out
i was down on my race and you pulled me back
from where i was living, from the street at the end
don't think i forgot all that, now do you my friend

(chorus)

(bridge)

i heard you've been hanging out in all those places
you know you shouldn't go,
hanging out with all those people,
that i know you shouldn't know
where do you think this life is,
where do you think this life,
where do you think this life is,
is gonna go?

so call me up sometime,
when you're done with your cocaine and speed
i may not be the friend you want,
but i'm the friend that you need
i'm the friend that you need

(chorus)
