There's a girl I know with a poison rose
She is gonna bring her, I suppose
Everybody's got a pretty friend
The words they buy
The time they spend
Good night, good night
When her friend's around, she disappears
Amid the broken stems and tears
Everybody's got a pretty friend
The words they buy
The time they spend
Good night, good night
It's a bitter pill and it's hard to swallow
She could take the lead, but she never follows
The bed of roses turns to nails
The best laid plans always fail
Everybody's got a pretty friend
The words they buy
The time they spend
Good night, good night
