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

Now the light fades out
And I m wondering what I m doing in a room like this
There s a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
x8
x2
So now I m alone, now I can think for myself
About little deals and S.U s, and things that just I don t understand
Like a white lie that night or a slight touch at times
I don t think I meant anything to you

So I open the door
It s the `friend that I d left in the hallway
Please sit down
A candle lit shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask
But, are `friends electric? are they?
mine s broke down
And now I ve no one to love
x8
x8
x2
So I find out your reason for the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I m lonely and I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight, so it s time to leave,
You see it meant everything to me
