Before we go any further, let’s 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 doesn’t know the meaning of friends

And if you ask me, you know, I couldn’t 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

Some you wish you never knew at all

Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin

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

With friends like that you don’t need enemies

With friends like that you don’t need enemies

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
