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, lets 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 doesnt know the meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know, I couldnt 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
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
Then came the arguements and all kinds of problems
Besides making love, we had nothing in common
It couldnt last long 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
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 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
Couldn’t trust her with cheese, let alone your keys
With friends like that you dont need enemies
You wonder how long it was all going on And your still not sure if your man is gone
You say, well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know thats just another lie
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
How many of us have them?
Friends
Before we go any further, lets be Friends*
How many of us have them?
Friends
One’s we can depend on Friends
How many of us have them?
Friends
Before we go any further, lets be Friends*
How many of us have them?
Friends
One’s we can depend on Friends
How many of us have them?
Friends
Before we go any further, lets be Friends*
