Lyrics

Well, I got a friend who's a man

Expressing having a male friend

What man?

Asking for clarification on the type of man

The man who keeps me from the lonely, the only

Describing the friend as a source of companionship and comfort

He gives me what I need

Acknowledging that the friend provides what is needed

What you need? What you got?

Asking for details on what the speaker needs and has

I need it all so badly

Expressing a strong desire for everything


Oh, anything I want he gives it to me

Stating that the friend provides anything desired

Anything I want he gives it, but not for free

Clarifying that what is provided is not free

It's hateful

Describing the situation as hateful

And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere

Acknowledging payment and expressing gratitude for being in a state of nowhere


This year I've lost some friends

Reflecting on the loss of some friends during the year

Some friends? What friends?

Seeking details about the lost friends

I dunno, I ain't even noticed

Indicating a lack of awareness or concern about the lost friends


You see, I gotta go out again

Expressing the need to go out again

Again? My friend

Seeking affirmation from the friend

I gotta see the main man

Expressing the need to see an important person


Oh, anything I want he gives it to me

Reiterating that the friend provides anything desired

Anything I want he gives it, but not for free

Reiterating that what is provided is not free

It's hateful

Describing the situation as hateful

And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere

Acknowledging payment and expressing gratitude for being in a state of nowhere


Oh, anything I want he gives it to me

Reiterating that the friend provides anything desired

Anything I want he gives it, but not for free

Reiterating that what is provided is not free

It's hateful

Describing the situation as hateful

And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere

Acknowledging payment and expressing gratitude for being in a state of nowhere


I killed all my nerves

Stating that the speaker has eliminated sensitivity or emotions

My nerves? What swerves?

Seeking clarification on what caused the elimination of sensitivity

And I can't drive so steady, and already

Describing difficulty in driving steadily due to a lack of nerves


I've lost my memory

Stating the loss of memory

My mind? Behind!

Asking what is behind the speaker's mind

I can't see so clearly

Expressing a lack of clear vision


Oh, anything I want he gives it to me

Reiterating that the friend provides anything desired

Anything I want he gives it, but not for free

Reiterating that what is provided is not free

Anything I want, anything I want, anything I want, anything I want, anything I want

Emphasizing the speaker's unlimited desires
