[Verse 1]
Lately
I'm okay
She called me Jamie
That's now my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm falling away
Spill my drink 'cause I'm nervous when I'm talking to you
(Spill my drink, spill my drink, spill my drink, hey)
I start to stutter and I wonder if I have an excuse
I got nothing to lose

[Chorus]
Baby, I know that I don't have a chance
What if I show you I'll do what I can?
Thinking about you now
And I don't wanna let you down, down
Baby, I know that I don't have a chance
I'm just asking for a friend

[Verse 2]
It's hopeless
In my place
She said, "Take notice
I'm not walking away"
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I'm calling a spade
Never, never, never, never seen a mouth like yours
(Da, da-da-da-da-da-da, da)
Never, never seen a face like that, I'm sure
And then I fall through the floor

[Chorus]
Baby, I know that I don't have a chance
What if I show you I'll do what I can?
Thinking about you now
And I don't wanna let you down, down
Baby, I know that I don't have a chance
I'm just asking for a friend

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just asking for a friend
I'm just asking, asking for a friend
(Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Okay, okay, okay)

[Chorus]
Baby, I know that I don't have a chance
What if I show you I'll do what I can?
Thinking about you now
And I don't wanna let you down, down
Baby, I know that I don't have a chance
I'm just asking for a friend
