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

I'm standing 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
Just asking for a friend
Oh, asking for a friend (asking for a friend)

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

I'm standing 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
Just asking for a friend
Oh, asking for a friend (asking for a friend)

Standing 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
Just asking for a friend
Oh, asking for a friend (asking for a friend)

Just asking for a friend
