Mary J. Blige - Friends lyrics

What is a friend Could it be that it's just a word Or something in your life that you've heard Or just another one of those big fat lies Because many nights this word has made me cry So hard my stomach hurts deep down inside 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 Cause you're my so-called friend How could you call yourself a friend Oh 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 want to 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 trying to fill your shoes (I don't understand this kind of friend) 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 Cause you're my so-called friend Opportunity's knocking here comes my friend Uh oh there goes that word again (they only come around when they need something y'all) They call you everyday 'til they reel you in And they want to hang out so you can spend on them (I don't understand, I don't understand this kind of friend) 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 Cause you're my so-called friend 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 Cause you're my so-called friend
