Friend Better - Joe Jackson

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me

I can read what you need 'cause it’s clear to see

So you tried and you tried and you made a mess

Got your pride, let it slide, 'cause I’m not impressed

If you were to use your head

Then you would — just forget her

Listen what what the wise man said

Lover good — friend better

Lover good — friend better

I could swear I was there when you hit the ground

Don’t you care, don’t you care

That I’m still around

It’s a fact that I lack certain kinds of charm

Come on strong, get it wrong

But I mean no harm

If you were to use your head

Then you would — just forget her

Listen what what the wise man said

Lover good — friend better

Lover good — friend better

Have a drink, have a drink

Have a drink on me

Pick a card, any card, it’s your destiny

Took a trip on a ship but you ran aground

I declare sorrow shared is a sorrow drowned

If you were to use your head

Then you would — just forget her

Listen what what the wise man said

Lover good — friend better

Lover good — friend better

Lover good — friend better

Lover good — friend better
