"She's My Best Friend" lyrics

"She's My Best Friend"

She's my best friend
Certainly, not the average girl
She's my best friend
Understands me when I'm falling down, down, down

Oh, it hurts to be that way
Oh, it hurts to know I'm that kind of fellow

Here's the newspaper, Joe
Dropped his teeth on the floor
Caught his hand in the door
I guess that's the way the news go

If you wanna see me
I'm sorry, but I'm not around
If you wanna hear me
Turn around by the window where the light is

She's my best friend
Better than a dog or cat
She's my best friend
Understands me when I'm falling down, down, down

Oh, it hurts to be that way
Oh, it hurts when you know I'm that kind of fellow

Here's the mulberry, Jane
She made jam when she came
Somebody cut off her feet
And now, jelly rolls in the street

If you wanna see me
I'm sorry, but I'm not around
If you want to be me
Turn around by the window where the light is

She's my best friend
Certainly, not the average girl
She's my best friend
Understands me when I'm falling

Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
