He ain't ever been any good at laying it all out on the line / I swear down deep, believe me girl, he's a really good guy / If you can find it in your heart just to cut him some slack / He'll be Johnny-on-the-spot here in two seconds flat / Yeah, he's holding his breath, come on give him a second with you / Oh hey. Chorus: Yeah what do you say / It's Friday night and you're beautiful, so beautiful / What man wouldn't think you were the love of his life / He'd be a fool, he'd be a fool / Just one drink would sure mean a lot to him / Yeah, I'm just asking for a friend. Let's say this friend of mine went and messed up real bad / And he'd do anything in this world, girl, to get you back / Hey what kind of sorry would it take for a man to erase his worst mistake / And would this even begin to make a dent. Yeah, what if I told you he hadn't slept in weeks / And he was standing right here in front of you instead of me / Is there any way you could ever love him again / Just asking for a friend.
