Ocean CIty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've got a best friend, don't know how
You've got a best friend now
You've got a best friend, don't know how
You've got a best friend now
You can take him out for drinks
and if he stinks makes you think
maybe baby, I love you more
But I've gotta have some friends when
you're gone for to hear me cry
don't I
You've got a best friend, don't know how
You've got a best friend Monday morning comes,
don't leave me now
Woke up this morning, don't know what I said
Now I'm walking 'round in circles, baby, bread in my head
They say ocean city's the place to be
but can you get me there for free?
There's always a tunnel at the end of the line
You can wear it back to 1929
Cause if you never see me again, I'll leave all the cash that I can
Buy yourself a drink and if it stinks makes you think
Maybe baby, I love you more
But I've gotta have some friends when you're gone for to hear me cry
don't I?
You've got a best friend don't know how
you've got a best friend now (x5)
