[Verse 1]
Do you know somewhere we can go tonight?
House  party with a box of wine, somewhere they'll let us in
I'm  askin' for a friend
If you don't do you know a guy who'll pick me up one that looks just right?
It'll scan, it'll bend
I'm  askin' for a friend

[Chorus]
It's  got a friend in mind
Who don't wanna sit at home and watch the night pass by
Just  ready for a wristband and a taste of life
Are you lookin' for a night you might forget?
Yeah, I'm asking for a friend

[Verse 2]
Do you know someone who's alone tonight
With  gas in the truck and bright blue eyes and smile that never ends?
I'm askin' for a friend
If that's you do you like to dance?
Would you fall in love if you had the chance?
Would you lean in for a kiss?
I'm askin' for a friend

[Chorus]
She's got a fiend in mind
Who don't wanna be alone on such a perfect night
She wants to strike a match and watch that flame burn bright
Are you lookin' for a night you might forget?
Yeah, I'm asking for a friend

[Bridge]
Do you have a feeling you can't stop?
Soap to wash these x's off?
A twenty for the tab, then count me in
I mean count her in

[Chorus]
I got a friend in mind
Who's jumpin' in too deep she might need a ride
You know the kind, I've got a friend in mind
Who don't wanna sit at home and watch the night pass by
She's ready for a wristband and a taste of life
Are you lookin' for a night you might forget?
The kind that ends with no regrets
Is a tattoo shop open at 2 AM
Yeah, I'm asking for a friend, yeah
I'm askin' for a friend, yeah ah-yeah
I'm askin' for a friend
