She's My Best Friend

Well this song is about Lou Reed's best friend at the time; heroin. A lot of the lyrics kind of give it away, like:

• "certainly not the average girl" (dope reference)
• "She' my best friend, better than a dog or cat" (because heroin is better than a dog, maybe not a cat)
• "Oh, it hurts to be that way" (he's coming down of his run)
• "Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow" (he's a junkie),
• "Here's to Newspaper Joe, dropped his teeth on the floor Caught his hand in the door Guess that's the way the news goes" (another person overdosed)
• "Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is" (he's shooting up)

you get the rest...

and song is so catchy
