You say you want to know most everything about him
But babe, what you're saying is that you don't want to doubt him
If I told you all the truth you wouldn't want to see him anymore
But I'm his friend as well and there's no way I can tell
Tales that will make you unsure
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 like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend
I've known him for so long to me he's like a brother
And if I needed help will I know there'd be no other
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
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 like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend
But babe, what you're saying is that you don't want to doubt him
If I told you all the truth you wouldn't want to see him anymore
But I'm his friend as well and there's no way I can tell
Tales that will make you unsure
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 like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
Don't ask a friend
I've known him for so long to me he's like a brother
And if I needed help will I know there'd be no other
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
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 like to help you patch it up again
I'm your lonely hearts club friend
