Original Alejandro Escovedo version
Wasn't I always a friend to you?
Wasn't I always a friend to you?
Do you wanna be my friend? (ooh ooh)
Do you wanna be my friend? (ooh ooh)
Every once in a while honey let your love show
Every once in a while honey let yourself go
Nobody gets hurt, no, no (ooh ooh)
Nobody gets hurt
We came here as two, we laid down as one
I don't care if I'm not your only one
What I see in you, you see in me
But if I be wrong smoke my smoke, drink my wine
Bury my snakeskin boots somewhere I'll never find
Still be your lover baby
O-o, o-o o-o
Wasn't I always a friend to you?
Wasn't I always a friend to you?
Do you wanna be my friend? (ohh ooh)
Do you wanna be my friend? (ooh ooh)
Every once in a while, honey let yourself go
Every once in a while, honey let your love show
Nobody gets hurt, no, no (ooh ooh)
Nobody gets hurt
Well, I could be an astronaut on the wrong side of the moon
Or wrapped up like a baby on a bus under you
Where ever I go you go with me
But if I do you wrong, take the master suite, I'll take the floor
Sleep in late, get your rest, I'll catch up on mine
Still be your lover baby
O-o, o-o o-o
Wasn't I always a friend to you?
Wasn't I always a friend to you?
Every once in a while, honey let your love show
Every once in a while, honey let yourself go, go!
Nobody gets hurt, it's only love, love, love
O-o, o-o o-o
