Lyrics
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 issues And things that I just don't understand But I told a white lie that night I lost my 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
You know I hate to ask But, are 'friends' electric? You see, 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
