Need a Friend (Acoustic)

I don't want to hurt you

But every time I lie awake

Your silence is a virtue

That I can't seem to shake

That's my kind of woman

And baby it's a crying shame

Is it even worth it?

I'd ask myself the same

You're losing all your sleep tonight

For one more desperate hour of time

Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close

You said it once

You'll say it again

I ain't in love but I need a friend

Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close

It ain't enough

And I can't pretend

That I ain't in love but I need a friend

And waiting is the hard part

To get a sense of how you feel

It's a matter of a fool's heart

To believe it's something real

My thoughts are true

My heart is on my sleeve

What else can I do?

You brought me to my fucking knees

Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close

You said it once

You'll say it again

I ain't in love but I need a friend

Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close

It ain't enough

And I can't pretend

That I ain't in love but I need a friend

I ain't in love, no I ain't in love

But I need a friend, ooh

Pick up the phone

And let's get out of here

You don't want to be alone

It's what you've been dying to hear

Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close

You said it once

You'll say it again

I ain't in love but I need a friend

Called me up and said I want to be somewhere close to you but not too close

It ain't enough

And I can't pretend

That I ain't in love but I need a friend

Ooh, I ain't in love no, I ain't in love

(Somewhere close to you but not too close)

I ain't in love but I need a friend
