There were five tables taken as I stepped inside
It seemed to me as if the action had already died
The bartender was sleepy and the waitress was eager to please
And I got my order as the only couple got up to leave
The lights were so dim that I could hardly see
And all I felt was that the whole room was looking at me
By the lights of the cigarette tips I caught some eyes
But try as I did I could not find a trace of a smile
It's so cold down here in this hot, hot room
Where no one makes a move
Guess I made mine too soon
Where are you, maybe friend for tonight?
Where are you, maybe friend for life?
If you find me before I find you
Don't pass me by
Maybe friend, maybe friend
Well all of a sudden things got out of control
Crowded by the fancy dressers in their room floor show
The bartender was busy and the waitress you just couldn't find
Then the DJ played on as the night life became alive
It was so hard to see through the curtain of smoke
And the wall of conversation made of well worn jokes
By the lights on the dance floor I gave away quite a few smiles
But none of them got any notice so I just said goodbye
It's so cold down here in this hot, hot room
Where no one makes a move
Guess I made mine too soon
Where are you, maybe friend for tonight?
Where are you, maybe friend for life?
If you find me before I find you
Don't pass me by
If you find me before I find you
Don't pass me by
Maybe friend, maybe friend
Maybe friend
