Old Friend Lyrics by Elton John

Old Friend Lyrics

    Duet with nik kershaw
    Written by nik kershaw
    Available on the album duets


    I want to be good, i want to be strong
    But i treated him bad, i've done him wrong

    I've taken his money, i'm given him hell
    And he takes it all 'cause he knows me well


    We can say what we mean and mean what we say
    We don't like to mess around
    But we're there to hold each other up
    When we're falling down


    Just like an old friend
    Putting me on my feet again
    Giving me back my pride then
    Letting me go
    Just like an old friend
    Putting me in my place again
    Giving me back my hope then
    Letting me know that he's an old friend


    I don't suffer no fools *i testify*
    But he must be one for being by my side
    I've broken his heart
    I've shaken his tree
    But still he doesn't want anything from a fool like me


    We won't talk for a year or two
    Maybe when we do we won't say much
    Even so we know that out of mind is never out of touch


    We're having a man-to-man
    Don't want to get sentimental
    But both of us understand
    We'll never have to say goodbye, just see you later
