Girl are you here by yourself or is there somebody else supposed to meet

Are you waitin’ round on your friends, baby tell me are you savin’ that seat

Naw I ain’t askin’ for me

But I know a guy, and you caught his eye

And he’s wonderin’ if you’re single tonight

I’m just askin’ for a friend

Are you drinkin’ alone?

He’s a little bit shy

And he just wants to know

Do you like whiskey or wine?

And what’s your favorite song?

Girl do you like to dance?

Let me pass it along

Yeah you tell me

And I’ll tell him

Aww c’mon now break it on down now for me, what’s your story? I’m just askin’ for a friend

Oh I’m just askin’ for a friend

Aw yeah he’s a really cool guy

And you seem just like his type, to me, aw as far as I can see

And he loves those small town girls, pretty brown hair one little curl fallin’ down, like the one on your cheek

Girl if it’s okay I can send him your way

Yeah it’ll only take a minute, we’ll just see

I’m just askin’ for a friend

Are you drinkin’ alone?

He’s a little bit shy

And he just wants to know

Do you like whiskey or wine?

And what’s your favorite song?

Girl do you like to dance?

Let me pass it along

Yeah you tell me

And I’ll tell him

Aww c’mon now break it on down now for me, what’s your story? I’m just askin’ for a friend

Oh I’m just askin’ for a friend

No I'm just askin' for a friend

You know he’s a good friend of mine

I’ve known him a pretty long time

Yeah let me take you over onto him, put your hand in mine

Let’s do this, c’mon

I’m just askin’ for a friend

Are you drinkin’ alone?

He’s a little bit shy

And he just wants to know

Do you like whiskey or wine?

And what’s your favorite song?

Girl do you like to dance?

Let me pass it along

Yeah you tell me

And I’ll tell him

Aww c’mon now break it on down now for me, what’s your story? I’m just askin’ for a friend

Oh I’m just askin’ for a friend

Aw yeah he’s a really cool guy

And you seem just like his type, to me, aw as far as I can see

Girl I'm just askin, you know I'm just askin'

I-I-I-I'm just askin' for a friend

You know I'm askin' for a friend
