"Friends" lyrics - MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO

[Hook:]
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

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

[Hook:]
Friends
Some you wish you never knew at all
Friends
How many of us have them
Friends
Ones we can depend on
Friends
Before we go any further, let's be
Friends
How many of us have them
Friends
Ones we can depend on
Friends

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

[Hook:]
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

Friends
Friends
How many of us have them
Friends
Ones we can depend on
Friends
Ones we can depend on
Friends
