Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I got a friend, who's a man (Who's a man)
What man? The man who keeps me from the lonely
The only
[Verse 2]
He gives me what I need (What you need)
What you got? I need it, oh, so badly
[Chorus]
Oh anything I want, he gives it to me
Anything I want
He gives it but not for free, it's hateful
And it's painful and I'm so grateful
To be nowhere
[Verse 3]
This year I've lost some friends (Some friends)
What friends?
I don't know, I ain't even noticed
[Verse 4]
You see I gotta get out again (Again)
My friend
I gotta see that main man
Yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, anythin' I want, he gives it to me
Anythin' I want
He gives it but not for free, it's hateful
And it's painful and I'm so grateful
To be nowhere (Nowhere)
[Chorus]
Oh anything I want, he gives it to me
Anything I want
He gives it but not for free, it's hateful
And it's painful and I'm so grateful
To be nowhere
[Verse 5]
I killed all my nerves (My nerves)
What swerves? I can't drive so steady
And oh, really
[Verse 6]
I've lost my memory (My mind)
Behind
I can't see so clearly
[Chorus]
Oh anything I want, he gives it to me
Anything I want
He gives it but not for free
Anythin' I want, he gives it to me
Anything I want
He gives it but not for free
Anything I want
Anything I want
