Elton John - Old Friend lyrics

Duet with nik kershaw<br>Written by nik kershaw<br>Available on the album duets<br><br>I want to be good, I want to be strong<br>But I treated him bad, I've done him wrong<br><br>I've taken his money, I'm given him hell<br>And he takes it all 'cause he knows me well<br><br>We can say what we mean and mean what we say<br>We don't like to mess around<br>But we're there to hold each other up<br>When we're falling down<br><br>Just like an old friend<br>Putting me on my feet again<br>Giving me back my pride then<br>Letting me go<br>Just like an old friend<br>Putting me in my place again<br>Giving me back my hope then<br>Letting me know that he's an old friend<br><br>I don't suffer no fools *i testify*<br>But he must be one for being by my side<br>I've broken his heart<br>I've shaken his tree<br>But still he doesn't want anything from a fool like me<br><br>We won't talk for a year or two<br>Maybe when we do we won't say much<br>Even so we know that out of mind is never out of touch<br><br>We're having a man-to-man<br>Don't want to get sentimental<br>But both of us understand<br>We'll never have to say goodbye, just see you later
