Be My Friend

Since you’ve gone and left me, life just don’t seem the same
I do my best to get over you, but I’m tired of playing this game

Life’s just a drag now,........... oh oh when will it all end?
Won’t somebody please, somebody please just be my friend.

I’ve tried living without you, but something’s just not right,
I can’t stop thinking about you, everyday and all of the night.

Life’s just a drag now,........... oh oh when will it all end?
Won’t somebody please, somebody please just be my friend.

This world’s such a big place,...........to be all alone
I feel so suicidal,.....................locked up here all on my own

Life’s just a drag now,........... oh oh when will it all end?
Won’t somebody please, somebody please just be my friend.

A song about being lonely, written when I was just 16yrs old.  I'd just started work as an apprentice at the local steelworks, so went from being amongst a large group of school friends, into a frighteningly dark place where I knew no one. To make matters worse, I'd just broken up with my first serious girlfriend!  I just wanted a someone to talk to!
