I Need A Friend   
For Trina Dowling

I  go to bed at night
And think of the day that's gone
It wasn't a delight
I wonder what's going wrong
I think about my life
And thy my family's  so cruel
I think about my loneliness
And my bad day at school

What I need is a friend that cares
A friend I can count on to always be there
When I'm bored and feeling crappy
I need a friend to make me happy
A friend to tell my troubles too
A friend that knows what I'm going through
A friend that will try to help me out
Not like my mother who just screams and shouts
I need a friend to be with all the time
Because my happiness is at an end
And love I can not find

The only time that I feel good
Is when I'm talking with you
You make me feel so good
I don't know what you do
It seems right now
That you're the only friend I've got
You can talk to me when I feel totally shot
It seems that you are the only one that cares
I really think we'd make a great pair

But I know you have other friends too
But right now I really need you
Cuz you're the only one I can really talk to

I want to help you too
When you're feel in bad
I want to make you happy
When you are sad.
Or talk to you when the class is a bore
Like we did with Mr. Moore.

But my life really sucks a lot
I really need you now
Because I feel your the only real friend I got
And I needed to tell you
And this is the only way I knew how.
