Looking For A Friend

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Gather 'round all you people

Watch me while you can

Been trawling too long, I've been losing out strong

For the strength of another man

I've been hasty, wasty standing on the backstep

Waiting for the phone to ring

But this semi-acoustic love affair

Is driving me to the brink

I'm just looking for a friend

I'm just looking for a friend

You don't have to be a big wheel

you don't have to be the end

I'm just looking for, looking for a friend

God help all you ladies

May the devil take all you men

You're far too busy having babies

To help yourselves to a friend

You're lazy, crazy hung upon the insane

Waiting for the phone to ring

[Incomprehensible]

[Incomprehensible] the wall

I'm just looking for a friend

I'm just looking for a friend

You don't have to be a big wheel

you don't have to be the end

I'm just looking for, looking for a friend, looking

I'm just looking for a friend

I'm just looking for a friend

You don't have to be a big wheel

you don't have to be the end

I'm just looking for, looking for a friend

I'm just looking for a friend

I'm just looking for a friend

You don't have to be a big wheel

you don't have to be the end

I'm just looking for, looking for a friend
