paroles de chanson My Friend - Tony Joe White

Just to tag along
Always in the way
You were so silly then, my friend

The patter of your feet
Followin' me down the street
But I didn't know you then, my friend

From pigtails and paper dolls
And all those childish things
You became a woman with all the beautiness and brains

When I had my chance
I didn't make my play
I was so foolish then, my friend

But now you're the star of the show
But you don't notice me
Oh, how things might have been, my friend

Now I remember when you used to follow me 'round the block
Huh, and I chased you away
Now I wonder why I couldn't see that you changed your childish ways
And you'd become a woman and, ooh, what a woman!

Just to tag along
Oooh, you was always in my way
You were so silly then, my friend

The patter of your feet
Oooh, you followed me down the street
But I didn't know you then, my friend
