It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside in a long coat
Gray hat, smoking a cigarette

Now, the light fades out and I'm wondering
What I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door and just for a second
I thought, I remembered you

So, now I'm alone
Now, I can think for myself
About little deals and S.U.'s
And things that I just don't understand

Like a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
So, I open the door

It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway
I say, 'Please sit down'
A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask but are friends electric?

Mine's broke down and now I've no one to love
So I find out your reason for the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely, and I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight, so it's time to leave

You see, it meant everything to me
Mine's broke down and now I've no one to love
Mine's broke down and now I've no one to love
