Hey Friend

(album: Demis Roussos - 1978)

Anytime you see me
Acting kinda mean honey
Don't take it hard
You know it ain't what it seems
It's just one of those moods
Everybody gets into
Well I'm feeling like a trumpet
That's playing out of tune
In a downtown bar, a smoky saloon
And you can't tell me
It ain't never happened to you

Hey friend
I'm depending on you
You'll be making me grin
In a minute or two
'Cause with a lady like you
I'll never need to pretend
Hey friend
I'm just letting you know
So you can ride with the tide
You can roll with the flow
I'm just getting my head
Back on its feet again
I'm just getting my head
Back on its feet again

Well nobody's dying?
And no I ain't ill
I've got a lady I love
And I've paid all my bills
And I can work it out
What's messing up my mind
But maybe it's a thing
I don't need to understand
Like the faze of the moon
'Cause even a man
Can have his own kinda regular
Ups and downs sometimes
