[Chorus:]
I'd like to be your friend but think of all the friends I've been
I never thought there'd come a day, I never thought I'd hear me say
I'd disappoint you in the end
No new friends please, no new friends for me

[Verse 1:]
Memories of old acquaintances keep on coming back
Some I met at garden parties, buddies, by the railroad track

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
What we are is self-appointed, there's nothing we can do
We'd lose touch with one another and that ain't fair to me or you

[Chorus]
