Old Friend - Louis Johnson

I need an old friend tonight

A new one just won’t do

Old friends give comfort to you when you’re feelin' blue

I need an old friend

I need an old friend tonight

To sit down by my side

Listen to my stories, tell me when I’ve lied

I need an old friend

Cause old friends know just what to do

On any given day

When to get up in your face, when to walk away

I need an old friend

I need an old friend tonight

To sit down by my side

Hold me in the darkness, hold me while I cry

I need an old friend

I need an old friend tonight

To climb into my bed

Hold me in the darkness, 'til my hunger’s fed

I need an old friend

Cause old friends know just what to do

How to make things right

New friends never seem to know when it’s time to say goodnight

I need an old friend

I need an old friend tonight

A new one just won’t do

Old friends give comfort to you when you’re feelin' blue

I need an old friend

Oh I need an old friend

I swear to God I need an old friend
