It's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you
So now I'm alone, now I can think for myself
About little deals and S.U's, and things that just I don't understand
Like a white lie that night or a slight touch at times
I don't think I meant anything to you
So I open the door It's the `friend' that I'd left in the hallway
Please sit down A candle lit shadow on a wall near the bed
I
You know I hate to ask But, are `friends' electric? are they
mine's broke down And now I've no one to love
So I find out your reason for the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely and I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight, so it's time to leave,
You see it meant everything to me
