I Ever Want You For A Friend
I Ever Want You For A Friend
I ever want you for a mate, nothing more or less
I never want us to berate
or just obsolesce
I ever want you for a sport, nothing more or less
I never want us to contort
or just retrogress
I ever want you for a guide, nothing more or less
I never want us to collide
or just deliquesce
I ever want you for a chum, nothing more or less
I never want us to benumb
or just coalesce
I ever want you for a coach, nothing more or less
I never want us to encroach
or just dispossess
I ever want you for a friend, nothing more or less
I never want us to pretend
or just acquiesce
