She's My Best Friend - The Velvet Underground

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

Down, down, down

Oh, it hurts to know that that kind of fellow

Is a Newspaper Joe

Dropped his teeth on the floor

Caught his hand in the door

Guess that’s the way the news goes

If you want to see me Sorry, but I’m not around

If you want to be me

Turn around, I’m by the window where the light is She’s my best friend

Better than a doll by far

She’s my best friend

Understands me when I’m falling

Down, down, down

Oh, it hurts to be that way

Down, down, down

Oh, it hurts to know that that kind of fellow

Is a Mulberry Jane

She made jam when she came

Somebody cut off her feet

Now, jelly rolls in the street

If you want to see me Sorry, but I’m not around

If you want to be me

Turn around, I’m 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)

Falling down, falling down

Falling down, falling down

Falling down, falling down

Falling down, falling down
