YOU SAY YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND

about

I wrote half of this song sometime in 1985. I shelved it since I didn't care for the direction this song was going. In 2017, I pulled out a partially written copy and decided to quickly finish it. I didn't put a whole lot of effort into it, but I felt good after completing it.
This is song #643.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

You Say You've Got A Friend Who Cares For You,
But She Says It's The End And You're Just A Fool.
Your Love You Wished To Send Will Not Go Through.
She Says That You Can't Mend A Heart In Two.

Two Kids Fell In Love, Like Nature Intends,
But In Life, You Can't Neglect Your One True Friend.

You Say You've Got A Friend Who Once Loved You,
But That Temper You Can't Defend; A Golden Rule.
Treat Her Right, You Won't Go Wrong. No Need To Pretend.
Then You Two Will Belong As Loving Friends.
(Solo)
Two Kids Fell In Love, Like Nature Intends,
But In Life, You Can't Neglect Your One True Friend.

You Say You've Got A Friend Who Once Loved You,
But That Temper You Can't Defend; A Golden Rule.
Treat Her Right, You Won't Go Wrong. No Need To Pretend.
Then You Two Will Belong As Lasting Friends.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
