Lyrics Temporary Friend - Status Quo

Where can I go? Who can I find to talk to?
Boy, do I know it don't look so bright to me
Because I'm heading down the road, carrying the load on my shoulders
Passing time away, drinking through the day alone

How could I know 'cause you never show your feelings
Why did you go? Why do you walk out on me?
I couldn't see the cards that you were dealing
It's you I can't shake, I just gotta break your spell

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh, I don't want to be a member of the lonely again
Oh, I'm heading for the gutter, and I'm close to the end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend

You gotta see, you gotta see my meaning
How can I survive? I'm out here on my own
You gotta give, give me something to believe in
Somebody to love, somebody to take me home

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh, I don't want to be a member of the lonely again
Oh, I'm heading for the gutter, and I'm close to them end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh, I don't want to be a member of the lonely again
Oh, I'm heading for the gutter, and I'm close to the end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
