Have you ever been stabbed in the back
By someone you thought was really cool?
Did they steal your lover, or was it money
Or was it lies they told?
Strangers just disguised as your friends
Never again, 'cause now you know
That friends will let you down, friends won't be around
When you need them most, where are your friends?
Friends are hard to find, friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' 'bout your friends
Smiles they hide behind, never know what's on their mind
Could be true deception
Jealousy and envy reign, never want to see you get ahead
They just hold you back
Friends will let you down, friends won't be around
When you need them most, where are your friends? Oh
Friends are hard to find, friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' 'bout your friends
Friends are hard to find, so be careful
You'll get fried in the end to remind and prepare you
Some ain't that bad, but one might back stab
To get their fingertips on what one might have
Bite the hand that feeds you, lead the people
Who need you, from those who hold you back and mislead you
So be a leader, don't get lead on or led in
The wrong direction, a dead-end's next then
Use your detour, life's like a seesaw
Ups and downs, and I'll bet there'll be more
Potholes and obstacles in a path
That's righteous, at times we need a hand to fight this
Way of life, straighten up, take the thought
And replace it, and don't you act two-faced'd
'Cause jealousy and envy and you still
Act friendly, you'll get fried in the end when you pretend to be
Friends will let you down, friends won't be around
When you need them most, where are your friends? Yeah
Friends are hard to find, friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' 'bout your friends

You used to me kiss me, tell me you missed me
But now you try to glaze me, play me, and diss me
I'm wide awake, ready to break, so we'd argue
What happened to the kisses and Ra how are you?
Forgot about the times when I rhymed, when I bathed you
Rings was the only little things that I gave you
Still ain't thankful, you're still complainin'
Used to be a quiet storm but now it's rainin'
Harder than ever, I'm thinkin' whether
If we should be friends, let it end, is it better?
To forget or remember, your body's tender
The vibes that I send her, makes her surrender
The feelings of capture, caught in a rapture
No woman can match ya, so when I'm lookin' at ya
Paint a perfect picture so you can remember me
But you'll get fried in the end if you pretend to be
Friends will let you down, friends won't be around
When you need them most, where are your friends? Oh
Friends are hard to find, friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' 'bout your friends
Friends will let you down, friends won't be around
When you need them most, where are your friends? Yeah
Friends are hard to find, friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' 'bout your friends
