You got a certain way about you babe
A sight and sound a color and a shape
The birds are singing a song about your hair
Each word is ringing to lovers everywhere

Will you sing again?
Asking for a friend

Everyone you meet wonders what to say
How to stop the sidewalk from walking you away
The callous concrete cannot quite convince
A silly someone he may not be your prince

What do you recommend?
Asking for a friend

How in the world after learning that you exist
Can you expect a man will be able to resist
Singing at your window every night ‘til you’re convinced
Just help me comprehend asking for a friend

Tea for two but you only got the one
And every waiter between your finger and your thumb
First thing in the morning ‘til evening’s coming down
Don’t it wear you out always running all around

The minds of men
Asking for a friend

How in the world after learning that you exist
Can you expect a man will be able to resist
Singing at your window every night ‘til you’re convinced
Well help me comprehend asking for a friend

Pour a little sugar and some milk into a cup
Cinnamon or chocolate and a spoon to stir it up
Sometimes you’re the dark roast other times the light
Anyway you mix it every time it turns out right

So baby tell me when
Asking for a friend
