Mary J. Blige - Friends lyrics

What is a friend?
Could it be that it's just a word
Or something in your life that you've heard
Or just another one of those big fat lies
Because many nights this word has made me cry
So hard my stomach hurts deep down inside

Uh oh, there goes that word again
(There it goes again) how did we let it end?
I thought you were my friend
(I swear I thought you were my friend)
I can't believe my very eyes
(I can't believe it)
Right to my face you lied
'Cause you're my so-called friend
(yeah, yeah)

How could you call yourself a friend?
Uh oh, there goes that word again
That brings people together and
Tears them apart
It's always said by those who
Claim they love you
When all the while they want
To fill your shoes
And never calling you up with no good news

They're always happy when you're through
(yeah) they never want the best for you
(Never, never)
They're always trying to fill your shoes
(I don't understand this kind of friend
Y'all listen)

Uh oh, there goes that word again
How do we let it end? (How do we let it end?)
I thought you were my friend
(I thought you were my friend, yeah)
I can't believe my very eyes
(I can't believe my very eyes)
Right to my face you lied
(Oh, right to my face you lied)
'Cause you're my so-called friend

Opportunity's knocking, here comes my friend
Uh oh, there goes that word again
They only come around when
They need something y'all
Listen here, listen here
They call you every day 'til they reel you in
And they want to hang out so
You can spend on them i don't understand
I don't understand this kind of friend

Uh oh, there goes that word again
How do we let it end?
I thought you were my friend
I can't believe my very eyes
(I can't believe my very eyes)
Right to my face you lied
(Right to my face you lied)
'Cause you're my so-called friend

Uh oh, there goes that word again
(Friends, how many of us have them?)
How did we let it end?
(I don't think we really need them)
If they aren't a friend
I thought you were my friend
(If they're not our friend)
I can't believe my very eyes
(And friend, I shouldn't have to fight you)
Right to my face you lied
(Or even lie to you)
'Cause you're my so-called friend
(To keep you as, to keep you as my friend
Yeah) uh oh, there goes that word again
(Oh, oh, oh) how did we let it end? (Oh, oh)
I thought you were my friend

I thought you were, you were my friend
Give me another track immediately
