Lobo - Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend Lyrics






I stopped sending flowers to your apartment
You said you aren't home much anymore
I stopped dropping by without an appointment
Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door.

Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
Just before you close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and stop by sometime
Baby that's a promise I can't keep.

I love you too much to ever start liking you
So lets just let the story kinda end
I love you too much to ever start liking you
So don't expect me to be your friend.

I don't walk down through the village or other places
That we used to go to all the time
I'm trying to erase you from my memory
Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind.

You always act so happy when I see you
You smile that way you take my hand and then
Introduce me to your latest lover
That's when I feel the walls start crashing in.

    Roland Kent LaVoie , más conocido como Lobo , cantautor y guitarrista norteamericano de ascendencia navaja , quien junto a Marlon Brando , organizó y apoyó campañas , en los Estados Unidos , en defensa de los derechos de las minorías étnicas de ese pais , durante los años 70 ´s. Lobo incursionó en el country , el folk y el pop, aportando su creatividad y talento al llamado folk sinfónico , al que pertenece esta hermosa balada.

  16. T.... L....

    Fucking hell people will break your heart and not give a shut, but will still try to be your friend even though they hurt you.

  17. R.... M....

    THIS MUSIC IS THE BEST

  18. m.... ....

    ..ever start liking you or ..ever start like anew or ..ever start like you knew? It is hard to tell. What do you think?

  19. T.... 5....

    As Stephen Stills once said, ''if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with'' . That should be the song for the woman you DID marry.

  20. M.... V....

    um dia me disseram que o sorriso e uma forma de mostramos o quanto amamos alguém .hoje me peguntaram se eu te amava apenas...SORRI

  21. R.... A....

    Rebobinar y revertir. 💖

  22. M.... l....

    Oh, the memories! Beautiful song, beautifully sung: long been a favourite of back when ......

  23. R.... N....

    A beautiful voice from a beautiful man....Lobo. We miss you.

  24. R.... M....

    I LOVE THIS MUSIC, TO REMEMBER

  25. d.... d....

    I’m 61 years old. It’s all about the money at this stage

  26. J.... M....

    hermosa cancion

  27. J.... C....

    There will never be anything like a sleepy Saturday afternoon with nothing to keep you company but the wonderful sweet pain of teenage angst and heart wrenching Lobo songs.

  28. h.... ....

    Un...be...lievable. I felt the walls start crashing in in 1972, again in 1988, and I'm still--in 2019--brushing off pieces of drywall even though I've been married 26 years and put two kids through college.

  29. K.... A....

    Growing up and having our innocence surgically removed by means of heartbreak and betrayal of a bad relationship, sucks big time! Then they want to keep you on standby? They have someone to lean on and they want you to watch, with nothing to go home to? Forget it!

  30. P.... P....

    Wish I had had a guy love me that much!

    P.... P....

    You probably did, and blew him off.

    P.... P....

    Now that would really be stupid don’t you think??

    P.... P....

    You did, you were in just to big a hurry to know it, little lady.

  31. F.... ....

    And the memories flash back...staring blankly at the computer screen and thinking about way back when.....

  32. c.... r....

    best songs ever, wish i could go back and do it all again my girl and me riding around in my 68 firebird. btw .she is my wife of 45 years

    c.... r....

    Same, except ‘70 GTO.

  33. T.... 7....

    I found this music buy myself all buy myself in the eary 70's . sometimes I come back to it to remember some really lonely times . (MULDEW) hard life ~ gary b . ☆

  34. S.... S....

    To Gail Estock: I loved you then {you 17, me 18} never stopped loving you , and we're still friends. A phone call every year on her birthday April 14. I will always wonder how it would have been. The memories from 15 years old to 20 years old are priceless.

  45. H.... C....

    Love this 😊

  46. D.... R....

    l sang this song in the shower after gym class

  47. R.... C....

    The most provocative & perplexing thing on earth:  L - O - V - E!  No University offers a course in it -- but I found love at U.S.D., CA in the late 1970s/early 1980s.  'Ya want details?  Sorry ......... * Cav *

  48. A.... 2....

    They don't write songs like this anymore do they? Well, a lot of artists don't even write their own songs anymore do they? Back then there was so much effort put into being a "musician". You wrote your own songs, arranged your music, recorded albums, toured to promote, and then it was back in the studio again. No You Tube to do the promoting for you. Times of changed and I wonder if the change has been positive.

  49. g.... ....

    Heather T, I will always love you!!!...Yours forever, Jim C

  77. P.... V....

    Great ..

  78. P.... V....

    Simplemente EXTRAORDINARIO CANTA AUTOR

  79. J.... R....

    This song reminds me of my EX wife, she wrote a letter when I was in Nam. She siad she couldn't love me anymore or be married to me any longer. Then about 5 months later she wrote and asked if we could still be friends when I came home. That really hurt more then when I got shot

  80. J.... T....

    I loved my ex Liz very much. We were at at a party one night, and she broke up with me via text message when I got home. Even though I now have found someone who treats me as an equal, I cant help but still think about her once in awhile.

  81. c.... ....

    Always loved this song when it came on the radio back in the day. Brings back memories of my younger days. Where the fuck did the years go ?

  82. A.... N....

    Great song

  83. W.... T....

    This song is so beautiful.
    The lyrics are so true of real life in many situations

  84. M.... W....

    We’ve all had the one that got away, move on, let the story have an end

  85. b.... ....

    I can identify with this song. Was married, had kids, worked too hard, suffered burnout, got depression, lost everything. Years later I'm still trying to deal with the pain. Didn't see her for years, now I do sometimes (family events) but the pain is still there and I can't just be friends. Can't move on either.

  86. R.... M....

    ALWAYS HEAR THIS MUSIC, AND I'LL LIKE ALWAYS.

  87. L.... F....

    Fake Actor. Look at the eunuch for the rest of your life. LOL.

  88. l.... A....

    The rose petals on the park bench....

  89. L.... W....

    I was a stalker too!

    L.... W....

    yep i know.

    L.... W....

    no matter what i do can't get you off my social pages.

  90. H.... C....

    Such a true early ‘70’s feel...the rhythm, the melody, the memories of me as a kid.

  91. E.... C....

    Ah!,the memories of 1973 at Buena Vista grade 4 or 5 can,t really remember. Miss all those people.

  92. P.... M....

    .... It's All Good! ......

  93. P.... A....

    No crying! Tempus edax rerum...

  94. I.... S....

    i heard these songs when i was 18 yrs old. now i m listening them with my 8 yr old son. they r still fresh and like a cool shower after a hot summer day. lovely.

  95. T.... T....

    The USA was a totally different place then when this song came out. A MUCH BETTER PLACE!

    T.... T....

    Toby Tyler Do you mean the world was a better place? Europe has now become a haven for Islam, the UK is completely disaster, there are hundreds of millions more people starving in just India and China and Americans and Canadians are more arrogant than ever. Humanity is what's destroying our planet.

    T.... T....

    Supreme Being Talking about arrogance!! Supreme being?

    T.... T....

    Toby Tyler Absolutely.

    T.... T....

    I thought you were referring to pre-1492
