Be My Friend Tonight - John Prine

I threw a party nobody came

I bought all the tickets they cancelled the game

I give you my picture it didnt 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 ps and qs

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
