ASKING FOR A FRIEND – ECH

Excuse me, ma’am, I don’t know your name
I’ve seen you dancing out on the floor
If you have time and if you don’t mind
A couple questions you can just ignore

So here I go
I just gotta know

CHORUS:
Are you the kind of girl who’d chance a slow dance
with a stranger you just met
Or maybe talk a walk, or sit down to talk
share a good book that you just read
I don’t wanna pry, but he’s a very shy guy
oh I’m sorry I should have said
I’m not asking for me
I’m asking for a friend

It’s getting sort of late
but this feels like fate
And I won’t bother no more
It’s gotta be tonight
cause it feels so right
So before you walk thru the door

Here I go
I just gotta know

CHORUS
Are you the kind of miss who wouldn’t mind a kiss
on a porch at the evening’s end
Or appreciate a thread of smiling yellow heads
with every text that he sends
He’s usually pretty bold, total opposite of cold
and I’ll remind you once again
I’m not asking for me
I’m asking for a friend

This guy, “my friend”
he knows he ain’t smart
I made a promise to him
that I would do my part
All he really needs
is just a little head start
Just give him a chance
and he will win your heart

So here goes
You just gotta know

He’d treat you like a queen, you know what I mean
with no limit to what he’d spend
The kind of man who stays
will never go away and on whom you can depend
Life’s thrown a couple curves, he’s working up the nerve
now I wish I hadda brought a pen
Cause I’m not asking for me
I’m asking for a friend
I’m not asking for me
I’m asking for a friend

Give the guy a shot
He thinks you’re really hot
I’m asking for a friend
Sit with him a while
You got the sweetest smile
I’m asking for a friend
You’re a wise girl I see
Cause I think you know it’s me
Whoa-oh, I’m asking for a friend
