Brendan Walter - Asking For A Friend Lyrics

      

Asking for a Friend
by Brendan Walter

Verse 1
Well, hello, Miss Linda Lou
May I sit down next to you
And ask you all about your life?
I've known you all the way back when
You walked in the door and then
I saw those beautiful blue eyes

Vers 2
Tell me, do you like to dance?
Take a drag off a cigarette
Here and then let's not pretend
If I'm coming on too strong
I promise you I won't stay long
I'm just asking for a friend

Chorus
Oh, what's your name and how you been?
What kind of drink are you sippin'?
You're leavin' soon or stayin' late?
It doesn't matter anyway
If you never ever wanna see me again
And hello, goodbye is where it ends
Just know I'm asking for a friend

Verse 3
I don't like these kinds of crowds
Way too packed, it's too damn loud
There's a quiet place outside
Just wanna hear the way you sound
Even if it lets me down
'Cause next to you is quite alright

Verse 4
Do you want one, two, or three?
Add some branches on a family tree
In a house out by the pines
Sorry if I've gone too far
You don't meet angels in the bar
You must have fallen from the sky

Chorus
Oh, what's your name and how you been?
What kind of drink are you sippin'?
You're leavin' soon or stayin' late?
It doesn't matter anyway
If you never ever wanna see me again
And hello, goodbye is where it ends
Just know I'm asking for a friend

Bridge
My, she told me not to lie
Honestly, it's just me, myself, and I

Chorus
What's your name and how you been?
What kind of drink are you sippin'?
Is it too soon or am I too late?
'Cause you're the kind of girl a guy could wait on his whole life
So, take my hand, I want a love that'll never end
No, I ain't asking for a friend
I got way too many of them
No, I ain't asking for a friend
I ain't asking for a friend
