Carly Simon - We Your Dearest Friends lyrics

We, your dearest friends Are having dinner without you We're witty and we use it to be vicious In just another minute We'll laughing about you To the untrained eye It wouldn't look suspicious We, your dearest friends Don't really care if you have needs Your hopes and dreams Are trivial by your standards We make fun of how you sing And then we imitate your speech And the stupid things You say we like to slander But we won't reel you out too far 'Cause after all, we need you for Our ongoing quest We've bonded here in faithlessness To undermine your happiness Toying with your paranoia Everything you do annoys us It annoys us We remember how You bought us all those gifts You liked to make us think You were so generous Be careful in the future Of everything you say and do 'Cause it can and will be used Against you by us We your dearest friends Judge you "guilty" Here and now Of thinking you're a star When it's all over Nobody wants you And we the least of all It's been a long time since You had those famous lovers But we won't reel you out too far 'Cause after all, we need you for Our ongoing quest We've bonded here In faithlessness To undermine your happiness Toying with your paranoia Everything you do annoys us (it annoys the hell out of us) It's not the straw No, it's the final straw you'll say Finally you've grown a sturdy backbone There'll be no invitation to Your rocky coast this year Your queenly voice will Ice us down the telephone You'll never guess who's joining us For brandy later on That's right, it's your bete noir from hell That's who Are you worried we might spill the beans Are you worried we might tell About your little visit to the bin when You were cuckoo? But we won't reel you out too far 'Cause after all, we need you for Our ongoing quest We've bonded here in faithlessness To undermine your happiness Toying with your paranoia Everything you do annoys us It annoys us Toying with your paranoia You have an unforgiveable personality Unforgettable, yes We were so happy once in the Garden of The Finzi-Continis Oh, yes we were Never more, never more Here comes the waiter We'll just put it on your house charge You'll never know the difference Never notice
