about

Recorded in the living room in Sacramento, CA.

lyrics

There's a bar right down the road
and if you want me to I'll show you.
And there's a door I'll open up
cuz I was taught that way from the old school.
I know that these days you have to be so careful
it hurts my heart that you must be so fearful of men.
And that's the way it's always been, but I sear

I only wanted to be your friend baby I swear,
I know there's a lot of assholes here and I
just want to be your friend.
I know I shouldn't call you baby I'm sorry I swear,
I don't want to be the asshole here I
just want to be your friend.

Cuz I grew up with a lot of guys
and I've seen the bullshit that they try to fly
but the birds don't fly no more.
They're marching up the street
and kicking down the door
screaming times up to the leaders that been leading in sin.
Don't want my little nieces to be afraid of men,
I'm going to screw it up but I can try to make it right, alright.

I only wanted to be your friend baby I swear,
I know there's a lot of assholes here and I
just want to be your friend.
I know I shouldn't call you baby I'm sorry I swear,
I don't want to be the asshole here I
just want to be your friend.

Because my girlfriends
that aren't my girlfriends
well they're my best friends.
And they taught me to be a better man.

I only wanted to be your friend baby I swear,
I know there's a lot of assholes here and I
just want to be your friend.
I know I shouldn't call you baby I'm sorry I swear,
I just want to be the asshole here I
just want to be your friend.
