Don't Ask A Friend Lyrics

You say you wanna hear most everything about him
But babe, what you said is that you don't wanna doubt him
If I told you all the truth, you wouldn't wanna see him anymore
But I'm his friend as well, and there's no way I can tell
Tales that'll make you unsure

Chorus:
Don't ask a friend, don't make me tell a lie
Don't ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would lie to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely heart's [comrade and] friend, don't ask a friend

I've known it for so long, to me he's like a brother
And if I needed help, well I know there'd be no otherNewton John, Olivia - Don't Ask A Friend - http://motolyrics.com/newton-john-olivia/dont-ask-a-friend-lyrics.html
But you're as close to me as any friend that I have ever known
I'm caught up in between, his devil and your dream
Please make your choice on your own

(chorus)

You know that I would lie to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely heart's [comrade and] friend, don't ask a friend

You know that I would lie to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely heart's [core] friend... (to fade)
