Devin Dawson, "Asking for a Friend" Lyrics:
(Devin Dawson, Connie Harrington, Brett Beavers)

Hey I was just wondering if anyone was sitting here / And if not, would it be okay if someone bought you a beer / Let's say that someone wanted to dance / Would he have any snowball in hell of a chance / To get you out on the floor before this slow song ends / Oh hey, I'm just asking for a friend.

He ain't ever been any good at laying it all out on the line / I swear down deep, believe me girl, he's a really good guy / If you can find it in your heart just to cut him some slack / He'll be Johnny-on-the-spot here in two seconds flat / Yeah, he's holding his breath, come on give him a second with you / Oh hey.

Chorus:
Yeah what do you say / It's Friday night and you're beautiful, so beautiful / What man wouldn't think you were the love of his life / He'd be a fool, he'd be a fool / Just one drink would sure mean a lot to him / Yeah, I'm just asking for a friend.

Let's say this friend of mine went and messed up real bad / And he'd do anything in this world, girl, to get you back / Hey what kind of sorry would it take for a man to erase his worst mistake / And would this even begin to make a dent.

Yeah, what if I told you he hadn't slept in weeks / And he was standing right here in front of you instead of me / Is there any way you could ever love him again / Just asking for a friend.

His songs are amazing in studio but when it comes to the acoustic versions they’re just absolutely mesmerizing.

I like the acoustic a lot better than the studio version. Damn good song
