Its cold outside And the paints peeling off of my walls Theres a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette Now the light fades out And Im wondering what Im doing in a room like this Theres a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you So now Im alone Now I can think for myself About little deals And *issues* And things that I just dont understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I dont think it meant anything to you So I open the door Its the `friend that Id left in the hallway Please sit down A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed You know I hate to ask But, are `friends electric? Mines broke down And now Ive no one to love So I find out your reason For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts And Im lonely And I should never have tried And I missed you tonight So its time to leave You see this means everything to me
