Generate meaning
1
I want to be good, I want to be strong
2
But I treated him bad, I've done him wrong
3
I've taken his money, I'm given him hell
4
And he takes it all 'cause he knows me well
5
We can say what we mean and mean what we say
6
We don't like to mess around
7
But we're there to hold each other up
8
When we're falling down
9
Just like an old friend
10
Putting me on my feet again
11
Giving me back my pride then
12
Letting me go
13
Just like an old friend
14
Putting me in my place again
15
Giving me back my hope then
16
Letting me know that he's an old friend
17
I don't suffer no fools, I testify
18
But he must be one for being by my side
19
I've broken his heart, I've shaken his tree
20
But still he doesn't want anything from a fool like me
21
We won't talk for a year or two
22
Maybe when we do, we won't say much
23
Even so we know that out of mind
24
Is never out of touch
25
Just like an old friend
26
Putting me on my feet again
27
Giving me back my pride then
28
Letting me go that he's an old friend
29
We're having a man-to-man
30
Don't want to get sentimental
31
But both of us understand
32
We'll never have to say goodbye, just see you later
33
Just like an old friend
34
Putting me on my feet again
35
Giving me back my pride then
36
Letting me go
37
Just like an old friend
38
Putting me in my place again
39
Giving me back my hope then
40
Letting me know
41
Just like an old friend
42
Putting me on my feet again
43
Giving me back my pride then
44
Letting me know
45
Just like an old friend
46
Putting me in my place again
47
Giving me back my hope then
48
Letting me know
