Paid In Advance

(album: Tales From The Ozone - 1975)

You get the bill in the morning marked "paid in advance"
Paid in full by a friend
You may be good-looking and you don't need romance
But everyone needs a friend

I watch the dice as they roll outta my right hand
Like a fool, I thought I still had a chance
When a good-looking mama from the south of Siam
Said, "Honey, do you wanna dance?"
I said, "Yeah" (I said, "Yeah")

You get the bill in the morning marked "paid in advance"
Paid in full by a friend (Doo-doo-doo-doo)
You may be good-looking and you don't need romance
But everyone needs a friend (Doo-doo-doo)

Well, I may be right and I may be wrong
But I can tell you if the song, it is real
I've been singing for oh-so long
I can tell it by the way that it feel
It feels good (It feels good, yeah)

You get the bill in the morning marked "paid in advance"
Paid in full by a friend (Doo-doo-doo-doo)
You may be good-looking and you don't need romance
But everyone needs a friend (Doo-doo-doo)

I watch the dice as they roll outta my right hand
Like a fool, I thought I still had a chance
When a good-looking mama from the south of Siam
Said, "Honey, do you wanna dance?"
I said, "Yeah" (I said, "Yeah")

You get the bill in the morning marked "paid in advance"
Paid in full by a friend (Doo-doo-doo-doo)
You may be good-looking and you don't need romance
But everyone needs a friend (Doo-doo-doo)
You may be good-looking and you don't need romance
But everyone needs a friend (Doo-doo-doo)
Everyone needs a friend
