Asking 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.
What do you do when
Every morning
The first thing you think is
You just want to stay in bed?
I'm just asking for a friend
What do you say when
All of your feelings
Are so overwhelming
That you're too tired to pretend?
I'm just asking for a friend
Maybe you're thinking she sounds like a mess
But trust me when I say she's doing her best
Doing her best
We all need, we all need the same thing
Someone to let us in
We all need, we all need a safe place
We don't have to defend
I'm not asking for all the pain in all the world to end
I'm just asking for a friend
How do you come back
From losing all you have
When you're so afraid that
You'll just lose it all again?
I'm just asking for a friend
Maybe you don't know the right thing to say
But trust me, what she needs is someone to stay
Someone to stay
We all need, we all need the same thing
Someone to let us in
We all need, we all need a safe place
We don't have to defend
I'm not asking for all the pain in all the world to end
I'm just asking for a friend
I've been looking for connection, but I don't know where I fit in
I'm still afraid of rejection, but I'm ready to begin
'Cause I could really use a friend
I'm just asking for a friend
We all need, we all need the same thing
Someone to let us in
We all need, we all need a safe place
We don't have to defend
I'm not asking for all the pain in all the world to end
I'm just asking for a friend
I'm just asking for a friend
