Asking for a friend

I'm asking for a friend
And I just don't know how to put this
'Cause we're like buddies 'til the end
But maybe things ain't how they should be

Looking in the mirror, seeing a different kind of man
Looking for some action, gonna go with who I am
Looking at my shackles - how I break'em one by one
Gonna flex my muscles, turn'em into stone

I'm asking for a friend
On behalf of one who needs it
(Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey)
The signs are everywhere
Mmm, but no one ever reads 'em
(Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey)

Looking in the mirror, seeing a different kind of man
Looking for some action, gonna go with who I am
Looking at my shackles - how I break'em one by one
Gonna flex my muscles, turn'em into stone

Huh!
Mmm
Hey-ey-yeah

Looking in the mirror, seeing a different kind of man
Looking for some action, gonna go with who I am
Looking at the present, on the past and on my shape
Look at my reflection, seein' a different kind of ape,

Looking in the mirror, seeing a different kind of man
Looking for some action, gonna go with who I am
Looking at my shackles - how I break'em one by one
Gonna flex my muscles, turn'em into stone

Asking for a friend
For someone who can see me
Mmm, I'm asking for a friend
(Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-oooh)
'Cause I desperately need it
Uh!
Just asking for a friend for a friend for a friend
for a friend for a friend for a friend for a friend
for a friend for a friend for a friend for a friend
for a friend for a friend for a friend for a friend
for a friend for a friend for a friend for a friend for a friend ...
(laughter)
Ooooh
Ooooh
