Need a Friend

I don't wanna hurt you
But every time I lie awake
Your silence is a virtue
That I can't seem to shake

That's my kinda woman
And baby, it's a crying shame
Is it even worth it?
I'd ask myself the same

You're losing all your sleep tonight
For one more desperate hour of time

Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
You said it once, you'll say it again
I ain't in love, but I need a friend
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
It ain't enough and I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend

And waiting is the hard part
To get a sense of how you feel
It's a matter of a fool's heart
To believe it's something real

My thoughts are true
My heart is on my sleeve
What else can I do?
You brought me to my fucking knees

Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
You said it once, you'll say it again
I ain't in love, but I need a friend
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
It ain't enough and I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend

I ain't in love, no, I ain't in love
But I need a friend
Ho, ho, oh-oh, oh-oh

"Pick up the phone
And let's get out of here
You don't wanna be alone"
This is what you've been dying to hear

Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
You said it once, you'll say it again
I ain't in love, but I need a friend
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
It ain't enough and I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend, oh

I ain't in love, no, I ain't in love
I ain't in love, but I need a friend
