[Verse 1]
Found myself up here
Suspended in the air
Way too high above
Oh, I wanna be down there
Watchin' people pass
Faces tell a tale
Larger than I'll know
But I'm forgin' my own path

[Chorus]
I'm standin' here alone
Just need someone to hold
I'd like it if you could be with me, oh
Just asking for a friend
Someone you'd recommend
Nothing to gain to just be with me, oh
Oh, oh, just asking for a friend
Oh, just asking for a friend

[Post-Chorus]
(Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)
(Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)

[Verse 2]
And if they came along
I'd be there for them too
'Cause everybody needs a different point of view
The clouds will come and go
In sunshine and in snow
It's a universal thing to want someone you know
[Chorus]
I'm standin' here alone
Just need someone to hold
I'd like it if you could be with me, oh
Just asking for a friend
Someone you'd recommend
Nothing to gain to just be with me, oh
Oh, oh, just asking for a friend
Oh, asking for a friend

[Post-Chorus]
(Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)
(Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)
(Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)
(Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)

[Chorus]
Standin' here alone
Just need someone to hold
I'd like it if you could be with me, oh
Just asking for a friend
Someone you'd recommend
Nothing to gain to just be with me, oh
(Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)
Just asking for a friend (Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)
Oh, asking for a friend (Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)
Just asking for a friend (Asking for a friend, asking for a friend)
