Best Song Lyricfriend Poems


Premium Member Always the Friend

Always the friend but never the lover,
On the end of the phone, but not under the covers
Around me often beautiful women do hover,
But I’m always the friend and never the lover.

They say I’m a nice guy, who’s easy to like,
I listen intently and am always polite.
I’m witty and funny and show women a good time,
But to date me then hate me would be such a crime.

So, I’m …
Always the friend but never the lover,
On the end of the phone, but not under the covers
Around me often beautiful women do hover,
But I’m always the friend and never the lover.

They end up with guys who treat them all wrong
Then cry on my shoulder with the same dance and song
When I suggest that perhaps they should give me a try
They say, “And loose my best friend? Why then I would die.”

So, I’m …
Always the friend but never the lover,
On the end of the phone, but not under the covers
Around me often beautiful women do hover,
But I’m always the friend and never the lover.

Seems to me maybe I should stop being so nice,
Treat all of the women like a sexual device
But when I tried that once it wasn’t such a hit,
I just came across as some guy full of …

So, I’m …
Always the friend but never the lover,
On the end of the phone, but not under the covers
Around me often beautiful women do hover,
But I’m always the friend and never the lover.

I'Ve Been Here Before

chorus

Well, the one I wanna see
Don't wanna see me
I've been here before...
I've been here before...

I guess I ask
For a little too much
I've been here before...
I've been here before...

Happiness, you're a stranger
You ain't no friend of mine
I know what I want, I can't have it
I guess I'll do some time

Some time without the one
The one I wanna see
I guess it's ended this way
She don't wanna be with me

repeat chorus

Loneliness is a hitchhiker
I picked up on the road
She told me to relax
That she had time to blow

Letdown was a friend of mine
I grew to know her well
She always asked if I was buying
'Cause she had goods to sell

repeat chorus

I could tell my girl it's right
But I'd know it's wrong
Conscience, you're a...jerk(profanity)
I guess I'll have to stand long

I'd stand forever through any kind of weather
If there was a chance
A chance that I'd get through
Through to you

repeat chorus

The one I want won't have me
She won't even call
I guess I wanted too much
I guess I wanted it all

Expecting too much is dangerous
Better watch your step
Because I'm telling you, my friend
Heartbreak never ends

repeat chorus
