Just Asking

[Verse 1]
Hey, how you been? How's the weather there in Denver?
Oh, me? I'm doing fine, never been better
But if you got a minute, somebody's got a question needs answering
I know it's late, but it just couldn't wait, he's driving me crazy

[Chorus]
How does a guy get back in the life of the girl that got away?
She said she's gone forever
Must be something he could tell her to get her mind to change
She's kinda like you and he's kinda like me
And no, it's not what you think
I'm not calling you up to talk about us again
I'm just asking for a friend

[Verse 2]
He's been drinking, losing sleep, doing nothing but pacing
I was thinking, maybe you knew the way to save him
Does he have any hope or is that door closed?
Girl, he's gotta know

[Chorus]
How does a guy get back in the life of the girl that got away?
She said she's gone forever
Must be something he could tell her to get her mind to change
She's kinda like you and he's kinda like me
And no, it's not what you think
I'm not calling you up to talk about us again
I'm just asking for a friend

[Bridge]
If anyone knew if she's really through
Girl, I knew it'd be you

[Chorus]
So how does a guy get back in the life of the girl that got away?
She said she's gone forever
Must be something he could tell her to get her mind to change
She's kinda like you and he's kinda like me
And no, it's not what you think
I'm not calling you up to talk about us again
I'm just asking for a friend

[Outro]
I'm just asking for a friend
Honestly, it's just what you think
So call me back when you get this
