Sidedish Friend
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.
Do you want to be my sidedish friend
'Cause I'll miss you if you go for good, yeah
We can stay together 'til the very end of time
If it's understood
That I don't want you hanging out with me
But I want you when I call
And we can stay together separately
And we won't be lonely at all
Oh boy
Oh boy
I got to think about that
Oh boy
And do you want to be the one on hold
'Cause you know I'll always come right back, yeah
We can find a quiet place for both of us to go
If you always know
That I don't want you hanging out with me
But I want you when I call
And we can stay together separately
And we won't be lonely at all
Oh boy
Oh boy
I got to think about that
'Cause every time
(Every time)
I think I'm all right
I think I'll win you over
I hear you say
(Hear you say)
That I don't want you hanging out with me
But I want you when I call
And we can stay together separately
And we won't be lonely at all
I don't want to get too close to you
And I don't want you close to me
There's a back door waiting just for you
If this isn't what you need
There's a back door waiting just for you
If this isn't what you need
