about

A silly song; just playing with words a bit...but it's the end of a relationship kind of song.

lyrics

HAD A FRIEND
'TIL SOMEONE DUG A TRENCH THROUGH HER HEAD
I HAD A FRIEND
'TIL THE JUMPROPE BROKE AND I COULDN'T MEND
NO TIME TO SAY
I CHALLENGE YOU TO DUEL AT HIGH NOON
NO TIME TO SAY
I WAS GIVING YOU THE MOON REAL SOON

I HATE TO LEAVE
BECAUSE YOUR CAR SMELLS LIKE YOUR HAIR
I HATE TO LEAVE
BECAUSE YOUR JEANS SMELL LIKE YOUR UNDERWEAR

HAD A FRIEND
NOW I'LL HAVE TO FIND A NEW ONE AGAIN
I HAD A FRIEND
AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING TO THE END
