[Intro: Lady Cobra]
A-ha-ha!
[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Well, I met a girl named Lady Cobra
Her black heart beats crimson and clover
She gives me chills and fever blisters
She's serving spells and voodoo shakes
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, she just wants to get me high (she don't want)
Stick a needle in my eye
Reeks like hell, lost in temptation (she don't need)
Rubbing on my inner demons
[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
I just wanna be your friend
[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Cuddle up with me real tight
Talk to me by candlelight
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you wanna play a game of Twister (she don't)
Like a dirty old man with a babysitter?
[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
Well, I just wanna be your friend
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I don't want to make you cry (she don't want)
Cross my heart and hope to die
Drawing blood and lonely stars (she don't need)
Drinking piss for cheap guitars
[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
I just wanna be your friend
[Outro: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Oh, your friend
