needing a friend

the lights are on and it's 2 am

and tonight i really need a friend

i'm standing on the edge of night

halfway through a timeless flight

you see love's a word

i've yet to feel

and help's the card for you to deal

so here i am again needing a friend

now all i've got's this loser's hand

and a diary of my one night stands

i need someone to believe in me

a little light so i can see my way

from all these backs street bars

but dreamers never get that far

so here i am again needing a friend

i'm reaching out again

into the night

i'm reaching out again

but no one's in sight

if there's a lesson to be learned

a little love to be returned

well then here i am again needing a friend

if there's a lesson to be learned

a little love to be returned

here i am again needing a friend
