I Miss You, Old Friend
[LES STYLE]
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
I miss you, old friend
Can I hold you?
And though it's been a long time, old friend
Do you mind?
[C.C., spoken]
Hello, Effie.
[EFFIE]
What gives you the nerve after all these years to come here and think that I'd forgive you?
[C.C.]
Now, wait a minute, Effie
Marty said you needed me
[EFFIE]
(sung)
What do I need you for?
(spoken)
More heartache?
[C.C.]
(spoken)
Effie!
(sung)
Effie, it's been all these years
And you haven't even said "hello"
I'm your brother, Effie
Say "hello"
Come on, Effie, you know I'm sorry
I should've come before today
Hold me is all I have to say
[EFFIE]
You've always been the baby
[C.C.]
But I'm tryin' to change
[EFFIE]
And so am I
[C.C. & EFFIE]
It's taken all these years to be free
[EFFIE]
Of loving that man
[C.C.]
Finding myself
[C.C. & EFFIE]
And getting ahold of the anger in me
[C.C.]
Effie, I have a song and only you can sing it the way it should be
[EFFIE]
I've waited so long to hear you say that to me
Say it again!
Say it again!
[C.C.]
Effie, sing my song the way it should be
