IT'S COLD OUTSIDE
AND THE PAINT'S
PEELIN' OFF OF MY WALLS
THERE'S A MAN OUTSIDE
IN A LONG COAT, GREY HAT
SMOKIN' A CIGARETTE
NOW THE LIGHT FADES OUT
AND I WONDER WHAT I'M DOIN'
IN A ROOM LIKE THIS
THERE'S A KNOCK ON THE DOOR
AND JUST FOR A SECOND
I THOUGHT I REMEMBERED YOU
SO, NOW I'M ALONE
NOW I CAN THINK FOR MYSELF
ABOUT LITTLE DEALS AND ISSUES
AND THINGS THAT
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
LIKE A WHITE LIE THAT NIGHT
OR A SLIGHT TOUCH AT TIMES
I DON'T THINK
IT MEANT ANYTHIN' TO YOU
SO, I OPEN THE DOOR
IT'S THE 'FRIEND'
THAT I'D LEFT IN THE HALLWAY
PLEASE SIT DOWN
A CANDLELIT SHADOW
ON A WALL NEAR THE BED
YOU KNOW I HATE TO ASK
BUT ARE 'FRIENDS' ELECTRIC
ONLY MINE'S BROKEN DOWN
AND NOW I'VE NO-ONE TO LOVE
SO, I FOUND OUT YOUR REASONS
FOR THE PHONE CALLS
AND SMILES
AND IT HURTS AND I'M LONELY
AND I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TRIED
BUT I MISSED YOU TONIGHT
SO, IT'S TIME TO LEAVE
YOU SEE IT MEANT
EVERYTHIN' TO ME
