text: I want to be good, I want to be strong
  But I treated him bad, Ive done him wrong
  Ive taken his money, Im given him hell
  And he takes it all cause he knows me well
  We can say what we mean and mean what we say
  We dont like to mess around
  But were there to hold each other up
  When were falling down
  Just like an old friend
  Putting me on my feet again
  Giving me back my pride then
  Letting me go
  Just like an old friend
  Putting me in my place again
  Giving me back my hope then
  Letting me know that hes an old friend
  I dont suffer no fools, I testify
  But he must be one for being by my side
  Ive broken his heart, Ive shaken his tree
  But still he doesnt want anything from a fool like me
  We wont talk for a year or two
  Maybe when we do, we wont say much
  Even so we know that out of mind
  Is never out of touch
  Were having a man-to-man
  Dont want to get sentimental
  But both of us understand
  Well never have to say goodbye, just see you later
  Just like an old friend
  Putting me in my place again
  Giving me back my hope then
  Letting me know
