He said baby, what's your name Are you new in this town? Since you walked in things don't look the same How about sticking around? The place was dark and the band played loud His voice sounded kind of dry He said: who's that guy with the funny smile? She said: He's just a friend of mine [Repeat x3] They talked a little, drank a lot As the evening went by The place got crowded and the air too hot He said: who's that guy following us about? She said: He's just a friend of mine [Repeat x3] He was nice and gentle, still rough enough To keep her satisfied She said: hold it baby, it gets too much I feel like I'm gonna die He took her home in the early mornin' She said: please do come inside He said: who's that guy in the dressing gown? She said: He's just a friend of mine [Repeat x3] He said who's that guy in the dressing gown She said baby don't you mind He's just a friend, just a friend, He's just a friend of mine
