• “I don't care what's right or wrong, I don't try to understand, Let the devil take tomorrow, Lord tonight I need a friend.”
• “Lay your head upon my pillowHold your warm and tender bodyClose to mineHear the whisper of the raindropsBlow softly against my windowMake believe you love meOne more timeFor the good timesFor the good times..”

• “Comin' close together with a feelin' that I've never known before, in my time.She ain't ashamed to be a woman, or afraid to be a friend.I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind.But dreamin' was as easy as believin' it was never gonna end.And lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.”
