Old Friend Lyrics - Duets - Elton John

I want to be good, I want to be strong 

But I treated him bad, I've done him wrong 

I've taken his money, I'm given him hell 

And he takes it all 'cause he knows me well 

We can say what we mean and mean what we say 

We don't like to mess around 

But we're there to hold each other up 

When we're falling down 

Just like an old friend 

Putting me on my feet again 

Giving me back my pride then 

Letting me go 

Just like an old friend 

Putting me in my place again 

Giving me back my hope then 

Letting me know that he's an old friend

I don't suffer no fools, I testify 

But he must be one for being by my side 

I've broken his heart, I've shaken his tree 

But still he doesn't want anything from a fool like me 

We won't talk for a year or two 

Maybe when we do, we won't say much 

Even so we know that out of mind 

Is never out of touch 

Just like an old friend 

Putting me on my feet again 

Giving me back my pride then 

Letting me go that he's an old friend 

We're having a man-to-man 

Don't want to get sentimental 

But both of us understand 

We'll never have to say goodbye, just see you later 

Just like an old friend 

Putting me on my feet again 

Giving me back my pride then 

Letting me go 

Just like an old friend 

Putting me in my place again 

Giving me back my hope then 

Letting me know 

Just like an old friend 

Putting me on my feet again 

Giving me back my pride then 

Letting me know 

Just like an old friend 

Putting me in my place again 

Giving me back my hope then 

Letting me know
