Friends

Mary J. Blige

What is a friend
Could it be that it's just a word
Or something in your line that you heard
Or just another one of those big fat lies
Cuz many nights this word has made me cry
So hard my stomach hurts deep down inside

1 - Uh oh, there goes that word again
How do we let it end
I thought you were my friend
I can't believe my very eyes
Right to my face you lied
Cuz you're my so-called friend

How could you call yourself a friend
Uh oh there goes that word again
That brings people together
And tears them apart
It's always said by those who claim they love you
When all the while they wanna fill your shoes
And never calling you up with no good news

They're always happy when your through
They never want the best for you
They're always tryna fill your shoes
I don't understand this kind of friend, ya'll listen

Repeat 1

Opportunities knock and here comes my friend
Uh oh, there goes that word again
They only come around when they need something, ya'll
Listen here, listen here
They call you every day 'till they reel you in
Now they want to hang out so you can stand on them
I don't understand, I don't undertand this kind of friend
Hey yeah

Repeat 1
Repeat 1 with ad libs
Repeat 1

I though you were, you were my friend
Give me another track immediately
