Joe Jackson - Friend Better

Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me
I can read what you need 'cause it's clear to see
So you tried and you tried and you made a mess
Got your pride, let it slide, 'cause I'm not impressed

If you were to use your head
Then you would - just forget her
Listen what what the wise man said
Lover good - friend better
Lover good - friend better

I could swear I was there when you hit the ground
Don't you care, don't you care
That I'm still around
It's a fact that I lack certain kinds of charm
Come on strong, get it wrong
But I mean no harm

If you were to use your head
Then you would - just forget her
Listen what what the wise man said
Lover good - friend better
Lover good - friend better

Have a drink, have a drink
Have a drink on me
Pick a card, any card, it's your destiny
Took a trip on a ship but you ran aground
I declare sorrow shared is a sorrow drowned

If you were to use your head
Then you would - just forget her
Listen what what the wise man said
Lover good - friend better
Lover good - friend better
Lover good - friend better
Lover good - friend better
