FRIENDS
(André Cymone / Jody Watley)
Jody Watley featuring Eric B. & Rakim
Have you ever been stabbed in the back
By someone you thought was really cool
Did they steal your heart or was it money
Or was it lies they told
Strangers just disguised as your friends
Never again 'cause now you know
That friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' 'bout your friends
Smiles they hide behind
Never know what's on their mind
Could be true deception
Jealousy and envy reign
They never want to see you get ahead
They just hold you back
Friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends, oh, oh
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine
Im talkin' 'bout your friends
Friends are hard to find, so be careful
You could find an inch or mile if I pay you
But some ain't that bad, but one might back stab
To get the fake tips of what one might have
Bite the hand that feeds you, leave the people who need you
For those who hold you back and mislead you
To be a needle, dont get lead on unleaded
The wrong direction, a dead ends next then
Heed the detour, lifes like a seesaw
The ups and downs, and I'll bet there'll be more
Potholes and obstacles in our path, that's righteous
At times you need a hand to fight this
Way of life, straighten up, take the door to the placid
And dont you act two-faced
Cause jealousy and envy, and you still act friendly
You could find the end and pretend to be
Friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends, yeah
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' 'bout your friends
Used to me kiss me, tell me you missed me
But now you try to glaze me, play me and diss me
Uh, wide awake, ready to break, so we argue
What happened to the kisses, and,
Why, how are you's, yours and mine
I'm talkin' 'bout your friends
Friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends, yeah
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine
