Duet with Nik KershawWritten by Nik KershawAvailable on the album DuetsI want to be good, I want to be strongBut I treated him bad, I've done him wrongI've taken his money, I'm given him hellAnd he takes it all 'cause he knows me wellWe can say what we mean and mean what we sayWe don't like to mess aroundBut we're there to hold each other upWhen we're falling downJust like an old friendPutting me on my feet againGiving me back my pride thenLetting me goJust like an old friendPutting me in my place againGiving me back my hope thenLetting me know that he's an old friendI don't suffer no fools *I testify*But he must be one for being by my sideI've broken his heartI've shaken his treeBut still he doesn't want anything from a fool like meWe won't talk for a year or twoMaybe when we do we won't say muchEven so we know that out of mind is never out of touchWe're having a man-to-manDon't want to get sentimentalBut both of us understandWe'll never have to say goodbye, just see you later
