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    And now  The light fades out  And I wonder  What I'm doing  In a room like this  And there's  A knock on the door  And just for a second  I thought  I remembered you    So now I'm alone  And now  I can think for myself  About little deals  And S.U's  And things  I just don't understand  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 candlelit shadow  On a wall near the bed    You know I hate to ask  But are 'friends' electric?  Only mine's broke 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  It must be time to leave  You see it meant  Everything to me    Now the light fades out  And I wonder  What I'm doing  In a room like this  It's cold outside  And the paint's peeling  Off of my walls  You know I hate to ask  But are 'friends' electric?  Only mine's broke down  And now  I've no-one to love    these lyrics are submitted by burkul
