It's cold outside And the paint's peeling off my walls There's a man outside In a long coat gray hair smoking a cigarette
Now 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 and s.u.'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'd left in the hallway Please sit down A candle-lit 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 reasons 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 this meant everything to me
