Louis Johnson Old Friend lyrics

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
