I'd like to call a friend
It's half past five and I'm half alive
I need someone's ear to bend

So I give her a call
And she says, oh, it's you
I know what you want
But what I need is a heart that's true

So I told her that I loved her but I lied
'Cause sometimes you gotta fake that emotion
Sometimes you gotta lie about your devotion
Sometimes you gotta lie about your intentions

It's a sad, sad old world, never know true love
But live won't get too deep
When you're shallow, it's always above you

So sometimes you gotta fake that emotion
Sometimes you gotta lie about your devotion
Sometimes you gotta lie about your intentions
'Cause there are some things you'd be wise not to mention

I'd like to call a friend
It's half past five and I'm half alive
