You'd never talk to a friend this way
So why'd you say that to yourself?
I've seen you giving yourself hell all day
What do you think that's gonna help?
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for you
You'd never beat up on a friend that way
So why are you beating yourself up?
I've seen you tearing yourself down all day
When will this torture be enough?
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for you
I've always had your back
Even when the odds were stacked
This time I need to count on you
To learn to have your back too
You'd never give up on a friend this way
So why would you give up on yourself?
I'm in this with you baby come what may
What can I do to give you help?
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for you
I'm asking for you
I'm asking for you
I'm asking for you
