Lyrics
Like Jeanne McGuire Sometimes I get lost in silly daydreams Like in the bank doing the money routine I like looking at the bank V.P. Even though I know she can’t see me. She wears a business suit and a big diamond ring Except on Fridays – it’s a casual thing In her mind everything’s black and white You can’t be a stripper, but piano’s alright. She knows all about loans The prime rate; the best cellular phone How to say yes and sometimes no How to say goodbye and without saying hello There’s a pleasant even-handedness I admire I wish I had a friend like Jeanne McGuire. I wish I had a friend like Jeanne McGuire Oh, where can I find one? I wish I had a friend like that. But I took the wrong turn on the road The heavy side of the load Got in the longest line at the store I looked at strike three; I thought it was ball four. I wonder why I’m not there instead of where I am Swimming with the sharks, my finger in the dam Living on the edge for so many years Heart on my sleeve, cryin’ crocodile tears. I really toss and turn at night I’m old enough to know that this is not right And I’m embarrassed to wake up with this midnight desire But I wish I had a friend like Jeanne McGuire I wish I had a friend like Jeanne McGuire Oh, where can I find one? I wish I had a friend like Jeanne McGuire Yeah, I want a friend like that. Well maybe it’s a crush so I’ll keep it hush hush Wouldn’t want to cause an uncomfortable blush Guess I’ll throw some water on this schoolboy fire Better redirect this misplaced desire. Everybody needs and everybody wants A friend like Jeanne McGuire I wish I had a friend like Jeanne McGuire Banastre Tarleton September 1999 – Revised February 13, 2002
