She sits alone there;
Just her and her dog.
The jasmine vines won't take,
And the shower drain's on the clog.
And I'm not home now,
I'm out grasping at some straws.
They've been known to break camels' back and loosen uptight jaws.

And you're upset, too,
So I'll get it through.
You know I need you.

I'm not drowning
In my beer.
So let's make that one fact
Nice and sparkling clear.
But if I'm drowning,
Please spare me the line.
Cause I'll probably end up with
What I've wanted for sometime.

And you're discontent,
Still don't get it yet.
Can't say I blame you.

I'll be there, baby,
Wait and see.
This sight for sore eyes
Has to be...

Don't go away,
Don't please,
This friend of mine.
Got me down on my knees,
This friend of mine.

I stopped hounding
Years ago.
Living in the best times, babe,
But man, they move so slow.
But if I'm standing in your way,
Push me aside
Last thing I want to be
Is a thorn right in your side.

And you're discontent,
Feeling so hell bent.
Can't say I blame you.

Don't go away,
Don't please,
This friend of mine.

Got me down on my knees,
This friend of mine.

Don't go away,
Don't please,
This friend of mine.

Got me down on my knees,
This friend of mine.

And you're upset too,
So I'll get it through.
You know I need yo-o-ou,
Ho-oh-oh yeah...
