He said, "Baby, what′s your name?

Are you new in this town?

Since you walked in, things don't look the sameHow 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"

Just a friend of mine

Just a friend of mine

They talked a little, drank a lot

As the evening went by

The place got crowded and the air too hot

He said, "Let's go out for a while"

The night was clear and the wind was soft

As they walked side by side

He said, "Who′s that guy following us about?"

She said, "He′s just a friend of mine"

Just a friend of mine

Just a friend of mine

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"

Just a friend of mine

Just a friend of mine

He said, "Who's that guy in the dressing gown?"

She said, "Baby, don′t you mind

He's just a friend, he' just a friend

He′s just a friend of mine"
