(I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend [Remastered Version] (2008 Remaster)

(I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend (2008 Remaster) - Bonnie Raitt

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
