You say you wanna hear most everything about him But babe, what you said is that you don't wanna doubt him If I told you all the truth, you wouldn't wanna see him anymore But I'm his friend as well, and there's no way I can tell Tales that'll make you unsure Chorus: Don't ask a friend, don't make me tell a lie Don't ask a friend to be your alibi You know that I would lie to help you patch it up again I'm your lonely heart's [comrade and] friend, don't ask a friend I've known it for so long, to me he's like a brother And if I needed help, well I know there'd be no other But you're as close to me as any friend that I have ever known I'm caught up in between, his devil and your dream Please make your choice on your own (chorus) You know that I would lie to help you patch it up again I'm your lonely heart's [comrade and] friend, don't ask a friend You know that I would lie to help you patch it up again I'm your lonely heart's [core] friend...
