who's gonna be my friend

Lei Liang - Mongolian Suite: V. Yin Shan Dance (Excerpt)

So, the day didn’t go the way you’d hoped it would, I know
Nobody cared . . . about all that work you put in
Well, let me come to you, and wrap my arms around you
And you can cry your ugly cry
I’ll tell you once again that you’re beautiful
And you can cry

It can’t be easy being beautiful, I’m sure
When someone cares  . . . the way you care
So, come and walk with me, and tell me all about it
We can walk around the block
I’ll tell you once again that you’re beautiful
And we can walk
And you can cry

So, the day didn’t go the way you’d hoped it would, I know
Nobody cares . . . quite the way you do
Well, let me tell you this joke your father told me
And you can smile your smirky smile
I’ll keep quiet for a while
And you can smile
And we can cry

You Can Cry

Cowboy songs are cool, but I don’t sing them.
I’m no cowboy— I never was.
So, even if I’m wearing boots and Wrangler’s,
them’s the only things I do that a cowboy does

Cowboys don’t ride bicycles down main street, no
they ride horses out on the open range.
So, even if I live here in West Texas
I’m no cowboy, and that’s never gonna change

I ride by bike to the livestock show
I wander ‘round without a clue.
I ride by bike to the rodeo,
sit myself down--I’m clueless.

I love cowboy songs, I just don’t sing ‘em; 
I’m no kind of cowboy counterfeit.
So, even though I’m wearing boots and Wrangler’s
I’m no cowboy, I readily admit.

I’m no cowboy; more like a cowboy misfit.
