Your New Friend

When the conversation is over And there's nothing left to say I know what you're going to do So I'm going my separate way You're going to call your new friend On the telephone I wonder what you call him When I'm not home Now this has been going on every night Since that week I left town It really makes me think I shoulda stuck around So I'm going to my living room-bedroom You know this is apartment is so small We used to share a bedroom Until you got that call You close your door so firmly And I put up my Chinese screen But you know I can't hide a thing at all Now you've got your doors And I wonder what goes on I've got my Chinese screen But you know I can't hide a thing at all You've got your radio on low To cover the sounds But your voice so soft, so soft It could only be heard by your new friend I've got my radio blasting To show that I don't care about anything You could possibly say to your new friend Now you've got your door And I wonder what goes on I've got my Chinese screen But you know I can't hide a thing at all And all that I can think of Is that how you used to be me On the phone to you while your lover died outside And in this chair tonight I wouldn't mind if I die And left you to your new friend Your new friend Now don't get me wrong I know I'm still your boyfriend But that doesn't mean a damn thing at all As long as you've got your new friend
