I Need a Friend by Lonnie Brooks

I'm all mixed up and I'm really confused
Every day I live the blues
I got a problem won't let me be
No one in this world really cares for me

Open the door
Let me in
I need a friend
Won't you open your heart?
Let me in
I need friend

This world is hard, it sure is cold
No one answers when you knock on the door
I've been hurt you, see, I can't get well
My whole life's been a living hell

Open the door
Let me in
I need a friend
Won't you open your heart?
Let me in
I need friend

(Solo)

I live like a gypsy, kind of like a hobo
I ain't got money to go to places I wanna go
Dream of richness, can't you see
But look like that'd never happen to me

Open the door
Let me in
I need a friend
Won't you open your heart?
Let me in
I need friend
