Whodini - Friends lyrics
[Whodini - Friends lyrics]
Friends – how many of us have them?
Friends – ones we can depend on
Friends – how many of us have them?
Friends – before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Is a word we use everyday
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesn't know
The meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know
I couldn't be much help
Because a friend's somebody you
Judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
But some mistake your kindness
For bein' a fool we like to be with some
Because they're funny
Others come around when they need some money
Some you grew up with, around the way
And you're still real close to this very day
Homeboys through the Summer, Winter
Spring and Fall
And then there's some we wish
We never knew at all
And this list goes on, again and again
But these are the people that we call friends
When we first went out together
We barely knew each other
We had no intentions, on becoming lovers
But in no time at all, you became my girl
Me and you, one on one, against the world
Talkin on the telephone for hours at a time
Or else I was at your house
Or you was at mine
And then came the arguments and
All kinds of problems
Besides making love, we had nothing in common
It could've lasted longer because
It started out strong
But I guess we went about
The whole thing wrong
'Cause out of nowhere it just came to an end
Because we became lovers before
We were friends
Friends – how many of us have them?
Friends – ones we can depend on
Friends – how many of us have them?
Friends – before we go any further, let's be
Friends
You say you and your girl
Friend were so tight
You took her out with you
And your guy one night
She even had a set of keys to your home
And you shared mostly everything you owned
But as she shook your hand
She stole your man
And it was done so sweet, it had to be a plan
Couldn't trust her with cheese
Let alone your keys
With friends like that you don't need enemies
You wonder how long it was all going on
And you’re still not sure if
You’re glad he’s gone you say
Well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know
That's just another lie
And now you're kinda cold
Toward people you meet
'Cause of something that was done
To you by some creep
But nevertheless, I'll say it again
That these are the people
That we call friends
Friends – how many of us have them?
Friends – ones we can depend on
Friends – how many of us have them?
Friends – before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Friends – ones we can depend on
