Asking for A Friend

Hey, I was just wonderin' if anyone was sittin' here?

And if not, would it be ok if someone bought you a beer?

Let's say that someone wanted a dance

Would he have a snowball in hell of a chance

To get you out on the floor before this slow song ends?

Oh hey, just asking for a friend

He ain't never been any good at layin' 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'll be Johnny-on-the-spot here in two seconds flat

Yeah, he's holdin' his breath, come on, give him a second wind

Oh, hey, yeah

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 sure mean a lot to him

Yeah, just asking for a friend

Let's say this 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?

Oh, hey, 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 askin' for a friend

Yeah

Yeah, what if I told you he hadn't slept in weeks?

And he was standin' right here in front of you instead of me

Is there anyway you could ever love him again?
