Yo Could you take me Into your arms dear Into your heart dear Show me its home again Take me from all of my fears From all of the years I've spent alone and hiding So I'll just pretend I'm asking for a friend Cuz I couldn't bear To know the end (Oh) If you let me be there for you Let me take care of you Keep you by my side Just let me be near you Hold you like lovers do Through the cold dark night So I'll just pretend I'm asking for a friend Cuz I couldn't bear To know the end (Oh) So I'll just pretend I'm asking for a friend Yeah I'll just pretend I'm asking for a friend
