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
snowball in hell
of a chance
To get you out
on the floor
before this slow song ends
Oh hey
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'll be
Johnny-on-the-spot here
in two seconds flat
Yeah
he's holding his breath
come on give him
a second with
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
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
Oh hey
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
And he was standing
right here in front of you
instead of me
Is there any way
you could ever
love him again
I'm just asking
for a friend
