You & Your Friend Lyrics

Cover art for You & Your Friend lyrics by Dire Straits

it sucks when you read someone else's interpretation and it makes so much more sense than what you thought the song meant haha.. i interpreted it as being about having your boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever cheating on you, and you knowing about it. he/she acts like this person is his "friend" but doesn't know that you know the truth..or that you suspect. anyway.. thats just how i interpreted it..but that might have had something to do with my situation at the time haha. anyway, it's a beautiful song, makes me cry every time i hear it..
