The Come On - Janis Ian

I haven’t been loved by a man in quite a while

You know it ain’t easy making me smile

Friends have their lovers, men on a string

There must be something terribly wrong with me Sometimes I feel like I haven’t learned anything

How do you do would you like to be friends?

No, I just want a bed for the night

Someone to tell me they care

You can fake it, that’s all right

In the morning I won’t be here

It’s a sacrificial alter

And I’m laying down my head

And I’m telling you up front

That I haven’t much to give

Is that how it’s done?

Or shall I sing and dance?

Give me a chance

How do you do, do you want to be friends?

Yes, that might be very nice

Maybe we’ll fall in love

Ev’ry body has its price

Mine is yours for free

If you’ll be in love with me I haven’t been loved by a man in quite a while

You know it ain’t easy making me smile

All my friends have their lovers

They’ve got men on a string

There must be something terribly wrong with me How do you do, would you like to be friends?
