Friends Joan Armatrading

It's been so long
Since I've seen you
My old friend

I remember your eyes
How they would shine
Those crazy times
When you and I
Fooled around

I remember the time
You fell in love
Didn't know how
To say goodbye
To your baby

And you made me take
The goodbye note
Around
And that little girl
She cried and cried
And she asked me if
I knew exactly why
You'd gone

I told a lie
I said you felt
She'd be much happier
With someone else
But then you'd do
The same for me
