I thought a friend was   Someone who you could sing to   Even if you had a terrible voice   I thought a friend was   Someone who said you that you would make it   When everybody was against you      Oh, but I was so wrong   Yes, I was wrong   About you      Consistent inconsistent love   Consistent inconsistent love      I thought a friend was   Someone who told you   You were beautiful   Without lipstick, yeah   I thought a friend was   (Without lipstick)   Someone who would cry with you   (I thought a friend was)   The day you lost your jelly diamond   (The day you lost your bicycle)   I thought a friend was   Someone who would give you   Their life’s blood on their thumb      But I was wrong   I was wrong   About you      Consistent inconsistent love   Consistent inconsistent love      La la la la love   La la la love love la la love      Wave goodbye   So so so sorry   To be leaving   But not so so sorry   To go away.
