Friend Zone

from Life of the Party by Richard Turgeon

/

about

Who hasn't been in the friend zone with someone you pined for? Channeling some teenage angst, that's what this one's about. Hopefully you'll hear ‘80s power pop influences like Cheap Trick, Starz, plus a little '90s-era Weezer. Tasty bass by Ron Guensche.

The friend zone doesn’t always have to be romantic or sexual. Sometimes we want more from some friends that they are willing to give.

lyrics

I need to let you know I care
I need to let you know that I will always be there
I’m here for everything you say
I want to tell you that I wish you’d look my way

Friend zone
How did I get here?
Friend zone
You’ve made it so clear
that we’re just buddies
spend my money
with nothin’ owed

I’d never treat you like an object
I’ve always opened every door
I drive you ‘round this town and listen to you whine
I’ve always wanted something more

Friend zone
How did I get here
Friend zone
You’ve made it so clear
we’re just buddies
spend my money
with nothin’ owed

Friend zone
Why can’t you see it?
Friend zone
Girl I really mean it
when I say that
we should be together

I’ll give you anything you want
I’ll get a cooler, faster car
I’ll tell you that you’re pretty when you’re being mean

All that I ask is that you get me
out of the Friend Zone

Friend zone
How did I get here
Friend zone
You’ve made it so clear
we’re just buddies
spend my money
with nothin’ owed

Friend zone
Why can’t you see it?
Friend zone
Girl I really mean it
when I say that
we should be together

I really hope you change your mind
I really wish that you were mine
