lyrics

i sure could use a friend
it's funny how quickly i find i need one again
i sure could use a friend
it's funny how quickly i find i need one again

i want a real man
two strong arms, i'd show him what to do
i'd put my little heart in his big hands
until he gets rid of you

i sure could use a friend
i sure could use a friend
it's funny how quickly i find i need one again

i want a roughneck
two strong hands, solid through and through
i'd give him twice the sum of his paycheck
to help me get rid of you

i sure could use a friend
a man who's not afraid of a little heavy lifting
someone good with a shovel

i want a big man
two strong arms and a heart that's true
i'd string the big dummy along and
i'd make him get rid of you

then i'll say good-bye to my friend
bye now
yes, i'll say bye-bye to my friend
it sure was nice knowing you

i know he may be a tough man
but i'll make him understand what he needs to do
that it's time for him to move along, man
or he might end up in there with you

i sure could use a friend
i sure could use a friend...

Utilizing a stripped down ensemble of accordion, bass, and drums, with the occasional guitar or brass, they bring to life vivid tales of love and loss, of bedrooms and back alleys, of the solitude and the camaraderie of sex, drugs and cabaret. ... more
