Lyrics

She's my best friend
Certainly not the average girl
She's my best friend
Understands me when I'm fallin down, down, down
Oh it hurts to be that way
Down, down, down
Oh it hurts to know
That that kind of fellah is a newspaper joe
Dropped his teeth on the floor
Caught his hand in the door
Guess that's the way that things go
If you want to see me
Sorry but I'm not around
If you want to be me
Turn around I'm by the window where the light is

She's my best friend
Better than a dog or car
She's my best friend
Understands me when I'm fallin down, down, down
Oh it hurts to be that way
Down, down, down
Oh it hurts to know that that kinda fellah
Is a mulberry jane
She made jam when she came
Somebody cut off her feet
Now the jelly rolls in the street
If you want to see me
Sorry but I'm not around
If you want to be me
Turn around I'm by the window where the light is

She's my best friend
Certainly not the average girl
She's my best friend
Understands me when I'm fallin..

Fallin down
Fallin down..
