She sits alone there just her and her dog The jasmine vines won't take And the shower drain's on the clog And I'm not home now I'm out grasping at some straws They've been known to break camel's back and loosen uptight jaws And you're upset too, so I'll get it through You know I need you I'm not drowning in my beer So let's make that one fact nice and sparkling clear But if I'm drowning please spare me the line Cause I'll probably end up with what I've wanted for sometime And you're discontent, still don't get it yet Can't say I blame you I'll be there baby wait and see This sight for sore eyes has to be Don't go away don't please this friend of mine Got me down on my knees this friend of mine I stopped hounding years ago Living in the best times babe But man they move so slow But if I'm standing in your way push me aside Last thing I want to be is a thorn right in your side And you're discontent Feeling so hell bent Can't say I blame you Don't go away don't please this friend of mine Got me down on my knees this friend of mine Don't go away don't please this friend of mine Got me down on my knees this friend of mine And you're upset too, so I'll get it through You know I need you, oh yeah
