Meshell Ndegéocello, 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 is somebody
You judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
But some mistake 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 too this very day
Some you wish you never knew at all

Friends some you wish you never knew at all
Friends how many of us have them
Friends ones we can depend on
Friends before we go any further, let's be
Friends how many of us have them
Friends ones we can depend on friends

Say you and your girlfriend 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 swift, it had to be a plan
With friends like that you don't need enemies
With friends like that you don't need enemies

And now you're kinda cold to
The 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
Friends how many of us have them
Friends ones we can depend on
Friends ones we can depend on friends
