Lyrics

You came to town tonight, I heard your set, the songs made me cry
And afterward I hoped we might enjoy the full moon, but you said goodbye

Walking home this cool august evening
Through my door my man greets me

But I don’t want him I want female friendship
My heart held within your hands
Oh no I don’t need him, I need female friendship
Just can’t get it, just can’t get it from a man

I know we tend to write about the men who make us cry
So now I hoped I might, recognize you’re my source of light because

I don’t want him I want him I want female friendship
My words floating in your head
Oh no I don’t need him I need female friendship

I need you lying beside me in my bed
Brush my tangles out and braid my hair
It’s the end of summer so I’m blonde
I feel safety in these tender moments
I’m not scared I’m not wrong

Walking home this cool august evening
Through my door my man greets me…

You came to town tonight, I heard your set, the songs made me cry
And afterward I hoped we might enjoy the full moon, but you said goodbye
