"She's My Best Friend" (album _VU_ version)
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 you're that kinda fellow
Here's to 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 feel me
turn around, I'm by the window where the light is
She' 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, down, down, down
Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow
Here's to Mullberry 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 feel 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

But if you want to feel, yeah, feel me
