Be My Friend Tonight
Begging for Companionship: Yearning for Connection
Lyrics
I threw a party. Nobody came.
I hosted a party, but no one attended.
I bought all the tickets. They cancelled the game.
I purchased tickets for a game, but it got canceled.
I give you my picture. It didn't fit your frame
I offered you my photo, but it didn't fit your expectations.
Be my friend tonight
The speaker is asking someone to be their friend tonight.
Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight.
Repetition of the request to be friends tonight.
Ill sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light.
Suggesting a casual arrangement where the speaker sleeps on the couch while the other person can keep the light on.
Well, I won't do nothing wrong till you say its right

Come on honey, be my friend tonight
Encouraging the person to be friends tonight.
Now you bring the glasses and Ill bring the wine
Suggesting a shared activity: the speaker will bring glasses, and the other person will bring wine.
Ill rub your shoulders just like they were mine
Expressing a willingness to provide comfort through a shoulder rub.
I won't make no passes till its passing time
The speaker promises not to make advances until it's the appropriate time.
If you're only gonna be my buddy tonight
