Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend

In this song, the singer is in love with someone he can never have. The unattainable object of his love has no idea what's going on or that there's anything wrong.

Maybe the object of Lobo's affection should expect him to be her friend. The singer told loBURN Magazine in 2015: "If you can't be friends with someone, then it was never good when you were doing it to begin with. That's the bottom line. If you don't still have some emotions about someone who you really did have feelings for, you're kidding yourself."

Born Roland Kent LaVoie, the Florida native performed in a handful of bands throughout the '60s, including The Rumours alongside Gram Parsons, before embarking on a solo career. Adopting the stage name Lobo, which is Spanish for wolf, he released his debut album, Introducing Lobo, in 1971. It featured his first hit single, "Me and You and a Dog named Boo," which peaked at #5 on the Hot 100.
