Sonny's a good friend of mine
He's always loaded with cash
He wakes up and he's off to work
Makes a coffee right before he leaves
And oh
He's the straightest man alive
Looks straight out of reservoir dogs
And oh
He's never seen that film
But i tell him that he'd fit right in
He's never seen that film
Sonny is my best friend
He's alright
Gives me a call
And says goodnight
He's the man i want to be
Theres not much more important to me
I'm watching telly alone
It's not hard to see
How my life is different to his
This 'aint the place i want to be
And oh
We're two different guys
But everything just seems better for him
Oh oh
He gives me good advice
I'm already grown but I want to be him
Sonny is my best friend
He's alright
Gives me a call
And says goodnight
He's the man i want to be
There's not much more important to me
Sonny lost his job
He's dealing drugs again
He's still the best man that i know
But i don't like where he's heading no no
He says that he's doing fine
But sooner or later it will stop
And i know
I know because he's done this before
But ill still be here for him
Sonny is my best friend
He's alright
Gives me a call
And says goodnight
He's the man i want to be
Theres not much more important to me
