I never thought I'd be saying this
But I'll never bring my man around my friends again
Cause the main ones that be hating him
Be the same ones tryna get a piece of him
Oh, yes, they tell me this and they tell me that
I believe what they say and then I question you

Guess I really thought they were close to me 
Tell them everything about you and me
From the sex to the night you wouldn't come home and
To the fights we had in our relationship
I guess they was using it for their gain
Cause they dogged you out and I would do the same
I keep 'em close and my enemies far away
I had it twisted cause I used to hear them say

Yeah, I could do better than you, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I could do better than you, yeah (yeah)
That's what they used to say
(Every day) every day (all day, yeah, yeah) all day 
They were plottin' to take you away, baby
(But now) but now I don't love 'em, I don't trust 'em
I don't see 'em, I don't need 'em
Boy, I need you, please don't leave me
I let go of my so-called friends 
But I remember when they used to tell me, yeah
