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
