Lyrics
I need an easy friend
I doooo... with an ear to lend
I doooo... think you fit this shoe
I doooo... won't you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free

I'm standing in your line
I doooo... hope you have the time
I doooo... pick a number too
I doooo... keep a date with you

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
