Songwriter: Billie Joe Armstrong

Producer: Tré Cool Mike Dirnt Billie Joe Armstrong Rob Cavallo

[Intro: Lady Cobra]
Ha-ha-ha

[Verse 1: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Well, I met a girl named Lady Cobra
Her black heart beats crimson and clover
She gives me chills and fever blisters
She's serving spells and voodoo shakes

[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Well, she just wants to get me high (She don't want)
Stick a needle in my eye
Reeks like hell, lost in temptation (She don't need)
Rubbing on my inner demons

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I don't want a suicide, I don't want this to end
I just wanna be your friend

[Verse 3: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Cuddle up with me real tight
Talk to me by candlelight
Do you wanna play a game of Twister (She don't)
Like a dirty old man with a babysitter?

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I don't want a suicide, I don't want this to end
Well, I just wanna be your friend

[Verse 4: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Well, I don't want to make you cry (She don't want)
Cross my heart and hope to die
Drawing blood and lonely stars (She don't need)
Drinking piss for cheap guitars

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I don't want a suicide, I don't want this to end
I just wanna be your friend

[Outro: Billie Joe Armstrong]
Oh, your friend

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
