really good friends

I was listening to Another Side of Bob Dylan (surprise) and thinking about what a great song “All I Really Want To Do” is. Although it’s the worst thing in the world to someone who wants to be romantically involved, there’s something to be said for being friends. And it’s too late now, but I really wanted to say “sexting” instead of “texting”. There’s a topical folk song for you. Be ready for the live version.

well we would make really good friends
but that’s all we’d ever be, and that’s ok with me
i can always use a friend
we would make really good friends
and that’s fine, that’s what i’d like to be
you can always use a friend

and i can’t be romantically here for you
but if you want some pizza i’ll pick it up and deliver, too
and i can’t let you stand this close to me
but if you’d like we can go out and i’ll buy you some coffee

well we could be really good pals
we’d go uptown and pal around, if that’s ok with you
i can always use a pal
we could make really good pals
and that’s fine, as long as it’s fine with you, too
you can always use a pal

and i can’t be romantically here for you
but if you need me to babysit, that’s something i might do
and i can’t let you stay up all night texting me
but if you’d like we can go out and i will be your dd

well we would make really good friends
but that’s all we’d ever be, if that’s ok with you
i can always use a friend
we would make really good friends
and that’s fine, if that’s what you’d like to do
you can always use a friend

and i can be a really good friend to you
but if you call me crying, i can only bring the tissue
and you can be a really good friend of mine
you just have to understand that i have to draw the line
