Bonnie Raitt Best Old Friend Lyrics

Best Old Friend Lyrics

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 I’m 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 there’s nothin’ else will do

When you need
love most

You know it turns it’s back on you



Oh, I can make it
thru without your company

I only wish I knew why you won’t comfort
me

I thot that I could count on you

To hear me cryin’ out

I guess
that’s 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 won’t be the last

The thing about the
situation

That makes me feel so sad

I could’ve been the best old
friend

That you have ever had

I could’ve been the best old
friend

That you have ever had
