V1
IT'S COLD OUTSIDE
AND THE PAINT'S PEELING OFF MY WALLS
THERE'S A MAN OUTSIDE
IN A LONG COAT GRAY HAIR SMOKING A CIGARETTE

NOW THE LIGHT FADES OUT
AND I WONDER 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

C1
SO NOW I'M ALONE
AND I CAN THINK FOR MYSELF
ABOUT LITTLE DEALS AND S.U.'s
AND THINGS I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
LIKE A WHITE LIE THAT NIGHT
OR A SLY TOUCH AT TIMES
I DON'T THINK IT MEANT ANYTHING TO YOU

V2
SO I OPEN THE DOOR
IT'S THE FRIEND THAT I'D LEFT IN THE HALLWAY
PLEASE SIT DOWN
A CANDLE-LIT SHADOW ON THE WALL NEAR THE BED

YOU KNOW I HATE TO ASK
BUT ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC
ONLY
MINE'S BROKEN DOWN
AND NOW I'VE NO ONE TO LOVE

C2
SO I FOUND OUT YOUR REASONS
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 THIS MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME
