(Olivia Newton-John)      You say you want to know most everything about him   But babe, what you're saying is that you don't want to doubt him   If I told you all the truth you wouldn't want to see him anymore   But I'm his friend as well and there's no way I can tell   Tales that will make you unsure      Don't ask a friend; don't make me tell a lie   Don't ask a friend to be your alibi   You know that I would like to help you patch it up again   I'm your lonely hearts club friend   Don't ask a friend      I've known him for so long to me he's like a brother   And if I needed help will I know there'd be no other   But you're as close to me as any friend that I have ever known   I'm caught up in between his devil and your dream   Please make your choice on your own      Don't ask a friend; don't make me tell a lie   Don't ask a friend to be your alibi   You know that I would like to help you patch it up again   I'm your lonely hearts club friend   Don't ask a friend
