Munged Lyrics

I want to be good, I want to be strong
But I treated him bad, I've done him wrong

I've taken his money, I'm given him hell
And he takes it all 'cause he knows me well

We can say what we mean and mea

Eye want too bee good, Eye want too bee strong
Butt Eye treated hymn bad, I've dun hymn wrong

I've taken his money, I'm given hymn hell
And he takes it awl ' cause he nose mi well

Whee can say watt whee mien and mien watt whee say
Whee don't like too mess around
Butt weir they're too hold each other up
When weir falling down

Just like an old friend
Putting mi on my feat again
Giving mi back my pride then
Letting mi go
Just like an old friend
Putting mi inn my plaice again
Giving mi back my hope then
Letting mi no that he's an old friend

Eye don't suffer know fools * Eye testify *
Butt he must bee won fore being buy my sighed
I've broken his hart
I've shaken his tree
Butt still he doesn't want anything from a fool like mi

Whee won't torque fore a year ore too
Maybe when whee do whee won't say much
Even sew whee no that out of mined is never out of touch

Weir having a man-to-man
Don't want too get sentimental
Butt both of us understand
Weal never have too say goodbye, just sea yew later

Old Friend
