Don't Ask 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.
You say you want to know most everything about him
But babe, what you're saying is that you don't want to doubt him
If I told you all the truth you wouldn't want to see him anymore
But I'm his friend as well and there's no way I can tell
Tales that will make you unsure
Don't ask a friend; don't make me tell a lie
Don't ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend
I've known him for so long to me he's like a brother
And if I needed help will I know there'd be no other
But you're as close to me as any friend that I have ever known
I'm caught up in between his devil and your dream
Please make your choice on your own
Don't ask a friend; don't make me tell a lie
Don't ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend
