Pure fiction of course. A one night stand? Me? Never! I play the guitar and sing. Kim Sajn does the rest...

It was a day like any other day
It wasn't too cold but the city sky was low and grey
And didn't I need a friend
I was at a loose end - then you came in
And that's the saddest thing

We met on the street - you asked me for the time
We started to talk and you thought that you knew a friend of mine
And didn't I need a friend
I was at a loose end - then you came in
And that's the saddest thing

Just down the road we found a place to eat
The tables were rough - well the wine was too
But the food was cheap
And didn't I need a friend...

That night was alright - but you know I was really canned
And next day when we woke - well I knew it was only a one night stand
And didn't I need a friend
I was at a loose end...

"I'll see you sometime" I said - and a week went by
And then last night you called to say
"Why don't you give it just one more try?
And don't you need a friend?"

Well I let you down and now you're gonna cry
There's nothing to say - well if you got hurt baby - so did I
And didn't I need a friend
I was at a loose end - then you came in
And that's the saddest thing

Didn't I need a friend
I was at a loose end - then you came in
And that's the saddest thing
