Be My Friend Tonight Lyrics by John Prine

Be My Friend Tonight Lyrics

    I threw a party. nobody came.
    I bought all the tickets. they cancelled the game.
    I give you my picture. it didn't fit your frame
    Be my friend tonight

    Be my friend tonight. be my friend tonight.
    I'll sleep on the couch. you can leave on that light.
    Well, i won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right
    Come on honey, be my friend tonight

    Now you bring the glasses and i'll bring the wine
    I'll rub your shoulders just like they were mine
    I won't make no passes till it's passing time
    If you're only gonna be my buddy tonight

    Be my friend tonight. be my friend tonight.
    I'll sleep on the couch. you can leave on that light.
    Well, i won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right
    Come on darling, be my friend tonight

    Well, i'll mind my manners. my p's and q's
    I won't give you nothing that you can't use
    I'll whip out that old guitar and sing you the blues
    Be my friend tonight

    Be my friend tonight. be my friend tonight.
    I'll sleep on the couch. you can leave on that light.
    Well, i won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right
    Come on honey, be my friend tonight
    Be my friend tonight. be my friend tonight.

    I'll sleep on the couch. you can leave on that light.
    Well, i won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right
    Come on darling, be my friend tonight
    Oh, come on honey, be my friend tonight
    Please, be my friend tonight.
