Текст песни Friends - Jody Watley , Eric B. & Rakim

Have you ever been stabbed in the back
By someone you thought was really cool?
Did they steal your lover
Or was it money?
Or was it lice 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
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?
Friends are hard to find
Friends yours and mine
I′m talkin' ′bout your friends

Friends are hard to find
So be careful
... to enter the mind
If it paid
There's some ain′t that bad
But one might back stab
To get their fingertips
On what one night have

Bite the hand that feeds you
Leave the people who need you
For those who hold you back
And mislead you
So be a leader
Don't get led on or led in
The wrong direction
A dead-end′s next and

Oh, you're detoured
Life's like a see-saw
Ups and downs
And I bet there′ll be more
Problems and obstacles
In your path that′s righteous
At times need a hand to fight

That way of life, straighten up
Take the door and replace it
But don't you act two-faced
Cause jealousy and envy
You still act friendly
With your ...?...
And you pretend to be

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

Used to kiss me
Tell me you miss me
But now you try to craze me
Play me and diss me
I′m wide awake
I need a break sweet of you
What happened to the kisses
And why how are you?

Forgot about the times
When around when I bathed you
Raising up only
Little things that I gave you
Still ain't thankful
You're still complain
Used to be a quiet storm
But now it′s rainin′

Harder than ever
I'm thinkin′ weather
We should be friends let it end?
Is it better to forgive?
Remember your body's tender
The vibes that I send her
Makes her surrender

The feelings I capture
Caught in her rapture
No woman can match her
So when I′m lookin' at you
Paint a perfect picture
So you can remember me
But you can find the end
If you pretend to be

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

Repeat last verse and fade.
