Dear Friend

Written with Caroline Cox (aka C.C. Loveheart)

(Chorus:)

Sometimes I think if I had to choose

Between a lover and a friend, the lover would lose

‘Cuz with a friend you can always be yourself

But when love’s not real, it’s something else.

A lover can give you a night of pleasure

But a friend holds you in their heart forever

In the end, I need you, Dear Friend.

Dear Friend, it’s crazy how guys come on.

They smile and I confront temptation

But I think of you and temptation’s gone.

All of ‘em giving it their best shot

But it can’t compare with what we’ve got

I trust you

There’s just you.

(Chorus)

Dear Friend, life gets lonely. I’m sure you know.

I need you to comfort me, you only,

So I think of you everywhere I go.

Showing me you know how I feel

Telling me all my wounds will heal.

You warm me

when life’s stormy.

(Chorus)

Every night I come home to you

‘Cuz you’re my lover and my best friend too

Suddenly you’re near me

To cheer me.

In the end, Dear lover

Dear Friend.
