Lay All Your Love On Me
(Self Obsessed Compassion Remix)
I wasn't caring before we met
Now every friend I see they seem to want to share
Their every problem their every strife
It seems as though compassion could become my life
I wish sometimes that it weren't true
When anyone is blue
They turn from me
And look around
And they'd find you...
But they don't waste their emotions
They lay all their woes on me
It really is quite remarkable
That they should choose as their confessor someone like me
Though I have seen quite a lot of things
I'm sure there's many people with better advice to bring
But that's not what they want
They will always do their own thing
They come to me
Not for good words
But because I listen
They're not shy in their devotions
They bring all their tales to me
They know I don't suggest strange notions
For a silent sounding board it's me
I've seen and heard and I've done a lot
In a short time I've learned what matters and what does not
And now I see that I have it right
Without my friends I know that I wouldn't last a night
With all that we've been through
Troubles both old and new
I've heard it all, from all of you
We've made it through
You're not shy in your devotions
You bring all your tales to me
You know I don't suggest strange notions
For a silent sounding board it's me

With thanks to all my friends, who I should tell more often that they mean the world to me
Special thanks to ABBA, not just for this song, but also all the other belters, another of which I'm also remixing.
