I need a friend to confide in
Someone to tell about my sordid sins
I need a friend to hold me close
Someone to give me my morphine dose

Many friends have come and gone
Why did none of them stay that long?
Many more friends I shall find
I cannot be forever wearing this lonely sign

So will you be my friend?
Hold my hand until the end?
Tell me that I'm always right?
Even if I start the fights?
