Asking For A Friend (Songs in the Key of F) - Devin Dawson

Hey I was just wondering if anyone was sitting here

And if not, would it be okay if someone bought you a beer

Let’s say that someone wanted to dance

Would he have any snowballin' hell of a chance

To get you out on the floor before this slow song ends

Yeah, I’m just asking for a friend

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’d be johnny-on-the-spot here in two seconds flat

Yeah, he’s holding his breath, come on give him a second with you

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 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

I don’t mean to ramble on like this

Hey I’m just asking for a friend

Yeah what if I told you he hadn’t slept in weeks

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
