"I'm Not Your Friend"


Anyone who was a “nice guy” in school knows that being nice is the kiss of death when it comes to trying to get laid. The writing here is not bad, but my what an embarrassingly bad vocal on the demo! I still think a decent singer could make this one work.


I’m Not Your Friend

© 1998 Brian Hutzell

Don’t you see I’m not your friend
I need more than this pretending to be good
Don’t you see I’m not the guy
Who will always be standing by your neighborhood
You’ve got something that I want, and I’ll take it as soon as I can
You’ve got something that I need--after all, I am a man

Don’t call back unless you intend to call me up to your room
I’m not in the mood to be the nice guy once again
Don’t call up unless it’s an offer I can’t refuse
No more mister nice guy, I’m not your friend

You call me up to ask for a hand
Tell me I’m so understanding and so nice
Every time you talk to me it’s for a favor or you’re needing my advice
Time to get one thing straight
That’s not what I’m here for
I don’t want to be your buddy; I’m looking for much more

Don’t call back unless you intend to call me up to your room
I’m not in the mood to be the nice guy once again
Don’t call up unless it’s an offer I can’t refuse
No more mister nice guy, I’m not your friend

I hate to disillusion you, but it’s passion I require
I’ll help you if you want me too
But I’m not some eunuch who’ll do your bidding and then retire

So you see I’ll be your friend
But I’m tired of bending over for no gain
Maybe that’s not what you planned
But you have to understand that I’m in pain

Don’t call back unless you intend to call me up to your room
I’m not in the mood to be the nice guy once again
Don’t call up unless it’s an offer I can’t refuse
No more mister nice guy, I’m not your friend
