[Intro]
Oh, ooh
[Verse 1]
She was my girl at one time
And in her eyes
There was a light (yeah)
That brightened my days
And warmed my nights (ah... yeah)
Until he charmed her with a smile
[Chorus]
He was a friend of mine
A friend of mine
A... friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
A friend of mine
A... friend of mine
[Verse 2]
He struck my heart with a chord, yes (yeah)
Way back in August of '94
He soothed my soul with his song
Until she finally let him know
She was a friend of mine
A friend of mine
A friend of mine (yeah)
She was a friend of mine
A friend of mine
A friend of mine
[Breakdown]
I wanna know why (why)
Did you do it?
C'mon, tell me why
Why (why)
Did you do it?
Oh, ho... my so-called friends, yeah
Why (why)
Did you do it?
Oh, I wanna know why
Why (why)
Did you do it? (did you do it?)
[Instrumental breakdown and ad-libbing]
I wanna know
I wanna know
Why (why)
Did you do it?
Ooh, oh, ooh
I wanna know
Why
Did you do it?
Ooh, oh, ooh
I wanna know
Why (why)

To me? (baby)
