FRIEND

Say friend, don't I know you ?
You've been, around here before.
But, now come to think of it,
I can't place, just who you are.

But you sure seem so familar,
Say now, don't you know me ?
Yeah, friend I'm sure I know you,
So, tell me who could you be ?

Or, maybe you just remind me,
of an old pal of mine.
Someone, I have needed,
to talk with for sometime.

But he doesn't want to hear,
what I've got to say.
So, he tries to ignore me,
hoping that, I'll just go away.

And say friend, I must tell you,
You're not looking that well.
Not, to put you down friend,
But, you're looking like hell.

See how your hands keep shaking,
while you're holding that glass.
Friend, you sure could use a shave,
and when have you eaten last ?

Hey friend ! can't you hear that bartender,
shouting it's closing time ?
I would call us a cab,
But, you've spent our last dime.

You just, keep sitting here drinking.
Don't you care, about nothing else ?
Please friend can't you look at me... I'm talking.
Or can't you bear, to even... take a look at yourself ?
