It's cold outside and -
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, gray hat, smoking a cigarette
And the light fades out
And I wonder 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 and I can think for myself
About little deals, SU's and things I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I left in the hallway
"Please sit down"
A candlelit shadow on the wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But are friends electric ?
Only mine's broken down
And now I've no one to love
So, I found out your reason for the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts, and I'm lonely and I should never have tried
But I miss you tonight so it's time to leave
Can't you see it's meant everything to me
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, gray hat, smoking a cigarette
And the light fades out
And I wonder 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 and I can think for myself
About little deals, SU's and things I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
