No New Friends Please

I'd like to be your friend
But think of all the friends I've bent
I never thought there'd come a day
I never thought I'd hear me say
I'd disappoint you in the end
No new friends please, no new friends for me.

Memories of old acquaintance
Keep on coming back
Some I met at the garden parties
Some lives by a railroad track.

I'd like to be your friend
But think of all the friends I've bent
I never thought there'd come a day
I never thought I'd hear me say
I'd disappoint you in the end
No new friends please, no new friends for me.

What we are is self appointed
There's nothing we can do
We'd lose touch with one another
And that ain't fair to me or you.

I'd like to be your friend
But think of all the friends I've bent
I never thought there'd come a day
I never thought I'd hear me say
I'd disappoint you in the end
No new friends please, no new friends for me...
