Lyrics
ASKING FOR A FRIEND
I'm sitting at a bar, knocking 'em back
Like there ain't no time to breathe
The bartender says, 'I think you've had enough
Now it's time for you to leave'
Another shot of whisky please, then I'll go home
But I got something on my mind that I need to know...
Does a broken heart ever mend, I'm asking for a friend
And does the pain go away
Or will it always feel this way
How do you know for sure when it's over
And can you learn to love again
It ain't for me, I'm asking for a friend
I'm sitting on a boat, chilling with the guys
Tryin' to catch a bite or two
It's been quite a day, but I've been miles away
Ain't got nothin' else to do
Gonna chill and have another beer, or maybe two
But I'd really like to know if it's ever happened to you
Does a broken heart ever mend, I'm asking for a friend
And does the pain go away
Or will it always feel this way
How do you know for sure when it's over
And can you learn to love again
It ain't for me, I'm asking for a friend.
How do you know when it's over, can you learn to love again
It ain't for me, I'm asking for a friend
Does a broken heart ever mend, I'm asking for a friend
And does the pain go away
Or will it always feel this way
How do you know for sure when it's over
And can you learn to love again
It ain't for me, I'm asking for a friend
Oh no, It ain't for me, I'm asking for a friend
