Let's Be Friends (Skin to Skin)

I been watchin' you a long time
Trying to figure out where and when
We been moving down that same line
The time is now maybe we could get skin to skin

Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of comin' to an end
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of slippin' away
Let's be friends, baby let's be friends

I know we're different you and me
Get a diffente way of walkin'
The time has come te let the past be history
Yeah, if we could just start talkin'

Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of comin' to an end
Don't know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of slippin' away
Let's be friends, baby let's be friends

Do, do do doo do do do doo...

There's a lot of talk going 'round now
Let'em talk you know you're the only one
There's a lot of walls need tearing down
Together we could take them down one by one

Este álbum, marca o regresso em força, da E Street Band às gravações com Bruce Springsteen, quase duas décadas depois do lançamento de "Born in the U.S.A."
Depois de uma tournée mundial em 1999/2000, e da edição de um duplo álbum ao vivo "Live in New York City", este é um trabalho que criou muitas expectativas sobre o resultado final, tanto da parte dos fãs, como da crítica em geral.
