Lyrics

I NEED A FRIEND

Copyright 1983 John C. Tatum Sr.

VERSE 1

I really wanna Love ya, but ya hurt me so bad - Baby
Kick me down when I'm around
You know you make me so sad
( I don't wanna know )

Late every night when I'm away from you
I always long for your affections
and every day I try to say it to you
Don't treat me like a fool

CHORUS

I need a friend
*I need a friend that I can Love
and when I stay with you I
I need a friend
*I need a friend when lovin' ends
and then I say to you I
I need a friend
*Don't wanna talk to you
I need a friend
*I really do need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend

VERSE 2

You fire up my temper
do you need me so mad - Baby
Kick me down like a clown
destroyin' feelings I've had
( I don't wanna know )

Most every day I'm half insane about your game
And though I try I can't remember why
You're not my idol just a tidal wave untamed
Good lovin' filled with pain

CHORUS

I need a friend
*I need a friend that I can Love
and when I stay with you I
I need a friend
*I need a friend when lovin' ends
and then I say to you I
I need a friend
*Don't wanna talk to you
I need a friend
*I really do need a friend

*I need a friend


BRIDGE

I realize my mistake with you
I compromise you my affections
Please sympathize I'm not unfair with you
And don't be so uncool
I guess I's not over you

CHORUS

I need a friend
*I need a friend that I can Love
and when I stay with you I
I need a friend
*I need a friend when lovin' ends
and then I say to you I
I need a friend
*Don't wanna talk to you
I need a friend
*I really do
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
I need a friend
