| Hey I was just wondering if anyone was sitting here
|
| And if not, would it be okay if someone bought you a beer
|
| Let’s say that someone wanted to dance
|
| Would he have any snowballin' hell of a chance
|
| To get you out on the floor before this slow song ends
|
| Yeah, I’m just asking for a friend
|
| He ain’t ever been any good at laying it all out on the line
|
| I swear down deep, believe me girl, he’s a really good guy
|
| If you can find it in your heart just to cut him some slack
|
| He’d be johnny-on-the-spot here in two seconds flat
|
| Yeah, he’s holding his breath, come on give him a second with you
|
| Yeah what do you say
|
| It’s Friday night and you’re beautiful, so beautiful
|
| What man wouldn’t think you were the love of his life
|
| He’d be a fool, he’d be a fool
|
| Just one drink would sure mean a lot to him
|
| Yeah, I’m just asking for a friend
|
| Let’s say this friend of mine went and messed up real bad
|
| And he’d do anything in this world, girl, to get you back
|
| Hey what kind of sorry would it take for a man to erase his worst mistake
|
| And would this even begin to make a dent
|
| Yeah what do you say
|
| It’s Friday night and you’re beautiful, so beautiful
|
| What man wouldn’t think you were the love of his life
|
| He’d be a fool, he’d be a fool
|
| I don’t mean to ramble on like this
|
| Hey I’m just asking for a friend
|
| Yeah what if I told you he hadn’t slept in weeks
|
| He was standing right here in front of you instead of me
|
| Is there any way you could ever love him again
|
| Just asking for a friend |
