Carly Simon We You Dearest Friends Lyrics

We You Dearest Friends Lyrics

We, your dearest friends

Are having dinner without you 

We're witty and we use it to be vicious 

In just another minute 

We'll laughing about you 

To the untrained eye

It wouldn't look suspicious 



We, your dearest friends 

Don't really care if you have needs 

Your hopes and dreams 

Are trivial by your standards 

We make fun of how you sing 

And then we imitate your speech 

And the stupid things 

You say we like to slander 



But we won't reel you out too far 

'Cause after all, we need you for 

Our ongoing quest 



We've bonded here in faithlessness 

To undermine your happiness 

Toying with your paranoia 

Everything you do annoys us 

It annoys us 



We remember how 

You bought us all those gifts 

You liked to make us think 

You were so generous 

Be careful in the future 

Of everything you say and do 

`Cause it can and will be used 

Against you by us 



We your dearest friends 

Judge you "guilty" 

Here and now 

Of thinking you're a star 

When it's all over 

Nobody wants you

And we the least of all 

It's been a long time since 

You had those famous lovers 



But we won't reel you out too far 

`Cause after all, we need you for 

Our ongoing quest 



We've bonded here 

In faithlessness 

To undermine your happiness 

Toying with your paranoia 

Everything you do annoys us

(it annoys the hell out of us) 



It's not the straw 

No, it's the final straw you'll say 

Finally you've grown a sturdy backbone 

There'll be no invitation to 

Your rocky coast this year 

Your queenly voice will 

Ice us down the telephone 



You'll never guess who's joining us 

For brandy later on 

That's right, it's your bete noir from hell

That's who 

Are you worried we might spill the beans 

Are you worried we might tell 

About your little visit to the bin when 

You were cuckoo? 



But we won't reel you out too far 

`Cause after all, we need you for 

Our ongoing quest 



We've bonded here in faithlessness 

To undermine your happiness 

Toying with your paranoia 

Everything you do annoys us

It annoys us 



Toying with your paranoia 



You have an unforgiveable personality 

Unforgettable, yes 

We were so happy once in the Garden of 

The Finzi-Continis 

Oh, yes we were 

Never more, never more 

Here comes the waiter

We'll just put it on your house charge 

You'll never know the difference 

Never notice
