Asking For a Friend

Hey there, how have you been, since your breakup
Are you lonely, or looking, for love
I know a man, you call a friend, and he tells me
You're all, he ever thinks of

In the morning, over coffee, you cross his mind
And I know he, could help your heart mend
I'm not saying that he's, the man of your dreams
I just came here, asking for a friend

I'm here to ask you, if you'd consider a new
Chance at forever, with someone that you
Have known for a long time, would you try love again
Maybe it wont end, I'm just asking for a friend 

For a minute, she sat there, and wondered
Then it hit her, just who it might be
She smiled, when she realized, the questions 
Weren't meant for, the reasons they seemed

You can tell, your friend that I'm looking
And I can bet he, could help my heart mend 
I know the man,  I just don't understand
Why you came here, asking for a friend

You're here to ask me, if I'd start a new
Chance at forever, can I give you the truth
I'll take a chance , but I guess it depends
So long as,  you're not here, asking for a friend

What lies before us, could last till the end
So long as, you're not here, asking for a friend
