Friends is a word we use every day but most of the time we use it in the wrong way Some people say that they got your back but you can tell a true friend by the way they act And if you ask me know I can't be much help 'cause a friend's somebody you judge for yourself Doesn't matter what I think I see because a friend to you might not be a friend to me Some are mellow and they act cool others treat you like you're a fool Some are always on your side and others just want to take you for a ride And this list goes on again and again but 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 When we first hooked up we barely knew each other I never thought you would be my lover Talking on the phone for hours at a time or I was at your house or you were at mine And then came all the fights and all the problems turned out that was all we had in common And even though we started out strong I guess we went about the whole thing wrong And I should've known it would come to an end 'cause we became lovers before we were friends The list goes on and on Again and again and again and again True friends show you more than you can see But some people leave you on your knees With friends like that you don't need enemies
