Late nights in strange rooms Cheap wine and cartoons And city lights below me I got all this time I got you on the line But somehow I'm still lonely Well, I made my mess Lost my courage, my kindness 'Cause everything just ended And I pray to God 'Cause I'm wiped out and I'm tired And I'm old enough to be mended And all in all, this is just a Friday night in one lifetime And even though I try, I'm on the wrong side tonight All alone, thinking there's a thousand girls who are just like me When it's half-past midnight Strangers in streetlights Will put you off with their glances And it's smart to ask Just when we get too cool to laugh And when we start building fences And all in all, this is just a Friday night in one lifetime And even though I love, I'm on the wrong side of the light All alone, thinking there's a thousand girls who are just like me Well, I'm all right I guess I could use a little rest And a gentle voice to console me Someone might want to be my friend tonight And then again, someone else might want to just hold me And all in all, this is just a Friday night in one lifetime And even though I try, I'm on the wrong side tonight All alone, thinking there's a thousand girls who are just like me
