She's My Best Friend - Black

I run at things too fast

Only give them half a chance-

Say what you want, what you will

But it’s true

I’m far too lazy

I do enough but nothing more

I like to drink, I like to play-

Do you too?

You never know

Just what the blues are like

Until you take

A taste of the sweet life

I found an angel

A reason to smile-

A best friend

Until I knew her I never knew

What a woman can do-

Did what she want, did what she will-

Is it true?

She holds her own, she holds mine too

We do a marry dance

Do what we want, do what we will-

Do you too?

I brush her hair

And it crackles with the static-

I never meant to kiss her

It was purely automatic

She’s my angel

She’s my Betty Blue

She’s my best friend

Her fingers drumming time, drumming time

Drumming on my heating heart

I got it good, I’ve got it bad-

It’s true, uh-huh

You never know

Just what the blues are like

Until you take

A taste of the sweet life

I found an angel

A reason to smile-

A best friend

She’s gone

She’s out of sight

She’s my love me tender

My P. G. fright

My lady day in the dead of night

My best friend

She’s my best friend
