Lyrics
Some Friend (Music and Lyrics (C) Chris Orbach)
Don?t need to borrow my guitar
Don?t need an extra face to fill the room
Now that you got all that covered
Guess I won?t be hearing from you anytime soon
Got so good at being your clown
I could pick you up whenever you got down
But when it came time for my trip through hell
You just tossed your head as said ?Oh, well??
Some friend you turned out to be
Some friend you turned out to be
Some friend you turned out to be
Some friend you turned out to be
Doomed to walk the walk
And talk the talk and live the life
But be way too scared to play the game
I may not have Toledo at my feet
But at least I kept my real name
You say you wanna work it out
You say you wanna set a date
But somehow you know in your heart of hearts
That your candy ass would show up late
Some friend you turned out to be
Some friend you turned out to be
Some friend you turned out to be
