If I had a friend whose name was Gwendoline
I would take her out most every night
We would have a drink and see the Symphony
Then go home and curl up on the couch
What good friends we'd be
Gwendoline and me
I wish I had a friend just like Gwendoline
If I had a friend whose name was Caroline
I would tell her secrets all the time
She would know my fears and loves and favorite lines
From the films we'd watch when we were bored
What good friends we'd be
Caroline and me
A friend would be so fine just like Caroline
It seems so sad when said out loud
Nobody seems to want me around
I was never much good at relationships
I can count my friends on just one hand
And even they can't stand to be around me for too long
I guess I'll keep on wishing in my song...
