Be My Friend Tonight

John Prine

Transposer:

verse 1 I threw a party. Nobody came I bought all the tickets. They cancelled the game. I give you my picture. It didn’t fit your frame Be my friend tonight Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight. I’ll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light. Well I won’t do nothing wrong till you say it’s right Come on Honey be my friend tonight verse 2 Now you bring the glasses and I’ll bring the wine I’ll rub your shoulders just like they were mine I won’t make no passes just passing time If your’re only gonna be my buddy tonight Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight. I’ll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light. Well I won’t do nothing wrong till you say it’s right Come on Honey be my friend tonight Instrumental (Same progression as Verse) verse 3 Well I’ll mind my manners. My P’s and Q’s I won’t give you nothing that you can’t use I’ll whip out that old guitar and sing you the blues Be my friend tonight Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight. I’ll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light. Well I won’t do nothing wrong till you say it’s right Come on Honey be my friend tonight Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight. I’ll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light. Well I won’t do nothing wrong till you say it’s right Come on Honey be my friend tonight

Dans cette chanson, un homme se retrouve seul après avoir organisé une fête qui n'a finalement attiré personne. Il exprime un désir de connexion poignante, proposant simplement d'être ami pour la nuit, sans prétentions ni attentes. Il invite l'autre à partager un moment agréable, promettant de respecter les limites tout en offrant sa compagnie chaleureuse. Le contexte de cette chanson semble connecté à un sentiment de solitude et de recherche de réconfort dans les relations humaines, même si ce n'est que pour une soirée. L'authenticité de l'échange, mêlant simplicité et tendresse, donne à l'ensemble une atmosphère à la fois nostalgique et pleine d'espoir.
