It's cold outside, and the paint's peeling off my walls,
There's a man outside, in a long coat and smoking a cigarette,
Now the light fades up, and I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this,
There's a knock at the door, and just for a second I thought I remembered you
So now I'm alone, and I can think to myself,
My little girl's messes, 'cos I just don't understand,
After what I don't know, I lost my touch at times,
I don't think I've been aching for you
So I open the door, it's the friend that I left in the hallway,
Please sit down, a candleless shadow on the wall by the bed
Now I hate to ask, but are friends electric?
Now their minds bent down,
Now I've no-one to love
So I find out your reasons why your front door isn't smiling,
And it hurts that I'm lonely, and I'm asking you for a time,
I miss you tonight so it's time to leave,
You see you mean everything to me
