Looking For A Friend - (demo)

(David Bowie)



Gather round all you people
Watch me while you can
I've been trawling too long
Been losing out strong
For the strength of another man

I've been hasty, wasted
Sitting on the backstep
Waiting for the phone to ring
This semi-acoustic love affair
Is driving me to the brink

I'm just looking for a friend
I'm just looking for a friend
You don't have to be a big wheel
You don't have to be the end
I'm just looking for
Looking for a friend

God help all you ladies
May the Devil help all you men
You're far too busy having babies
To help yourself to a friend

You're lazy, crazy
Hung upon the insane
Looking for a face to call
With the mirror on your backside
Face to face with the spaceman on the wall

I'm just looking for a friend
I'm just looking for a friend
You don't have to be a big wheel
You don't have to be the end
I'm just looking for
Looking for a friend

I'm just looking for a friend
I'm just looking for a friend
You don't have to be a big wheel
You don't have to be the end
I'm just looking for
Looking for a friend
