verse 1 I threw a party. Nobody came I bought all the tickets. They cancelled the game. I give you my picture. It didn't fit your frame Be my friend tonight Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight. I'll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light. Well, I won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right Come on Honey, be my friend tonight verse 2 Now you bring the glasses and I'll bring the wine I'll rub your shoulders just like they were mine I won't make no passes just passing time If your're only gonna be my buddy tonight Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight. I'll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light. Well, I won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right Come on Honey, be my friend tonight Instrumental (Same progression as Verse) verse 3 Well, I'll mind my manners. My P's and Q's I won't give you nothing that you can't use I'll whip out that old guitar and sing you the blues Be my friend tonight Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight. I'll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light. Well, I won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right Come on Honey, be my friend tonight Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight. I'll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light. Well, I won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right Come on Honey, be my friend tonight
