I’ve Got A Friend
[Intro: Clairo & Claud]
Okay, it's starting, shh
Oh, shh
No, you shh
No, shh

[Verse 1]
Who would've said
When I met you at a party
Everyone was drunk on 40s just south of Stuyvesant?
That I would get to know your sisters
Bring 'em with us every time that we were in Austin

[Pre-Chorus]
If only she knew what it's like to see the world with someone who
Is excited by everything, fashion sense of a king
Living in the fifteenth century

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Masturbates to Rob Pattinson, staring at the wall
I've got a friend who's tangled up inside
Tried to hold her hand the day her mother died
I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Talked me out of jail, talked me off the panic rail
I got a friend, I got a friend
And she's got a friend, too
[Verse 2]
Any other day
We'd be hanging out together, no matter the weather
She'd make us listen to Dolly or else
When I'm far away
Like I seem to be a lot
I miss the days we'd spend smoking pot

[Pre-Chorus]
If only she knew what it's like to see the world through someone who
Isn't afraid of anything, laughs about everything
I'd like to see the one who thinks they can change her mind

[Chorus]
I've got a friend who's been there through it all
When I lose my shit, she's the first person I call
I've got a friend who handed me a shot
And taught me to dance when the love inside was not
I've got a friend who's smarter than anything
Wears all her mother's rings, stands for the right things
I got a friend, I got a friend
I got a friend and she's got a friend, too
I got a friend, ooh, I've got a friend
And she's got a friend, too
I got a friend, she'll be there in the end
When we're old and we're dead, ooh
And she's got a friend, too
[Outro]
I've got a friend, her name is Claire
Her name is—, alright, let me do one more, I'm starting to loosen up
Yeah, there you go, it's light, isn't it? You got it
You know that's the vibe with that one
He's so good at piano
