Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes - Friends lyrics

rate me

This one right here

Goes out to everybody

And it doesn't matter who you are

Cuz I know that everybody

Has a friend (friend)

What defines a friend

The meaning where does it lie?

In the mind

In the money

In the face

In in the eyes

In the days and the nights

Well what is a friend

Do you love it and leave it

Again and again?

Now our story begins

Of two little friends

You would've thought they were twins

Would've thought they was kin

Wouldn't think they could manage

All the time they would spend

For each other they'd fend

For their friends till the end

And their mothers know mothers

Sisters know brothers

Mothers know fathers

Sons know their daughters

Blood thicker than water

If one had 50 cents

They'd both have a quarter

It only makes sense

That destined love was in order

They grew up together

From pre-K to high school

Winters in the snow

Summers in the pool

He's an athlete

She's an actress

But hormones would lead them to the mattress

[Chorus]

I thought you were my friend (friend)

Together through thick and thin (friend)

Like it we were

All the things that we've been through

I put so much trust in you

Back then (friend)

Now what kind of friend

Could you have been

Not furious just curious

She saw himself fit

Who better than a boy

The girl grew up with

How 'bout all the walks in the park

On the phone all night

Dreams like that she saw in plain sight

To his friends he's urgin'

The simple fact she's a virgin

To her he'll be urgin'

Sexually lets merge

As you can see

There's two different dreams

Her thoughts are so pure

His low as the floor

She's lookin'

He's gawkin'

They're walkin' and talkin'

About a new stage and phase

That they should embark in

So it came to that night

No dinner no candlelight

The female exhales

Somethin' doesn't feel right

She said it polite

Honey please not tonight

He didn't get in it

So he got real malignant

He hit her

It hurt

Her breath got suspended

Then he looked at his work

Not feelin' so splendid

[Chorus]

Their meeting had ended

Feelin' offended

He went and attended

A counselin' session

Now life is a lesson

Full of questions

Why we drown down

Rather than manifestin'

Went to his friend

Right from the beginnin'

With tears in his eyes

Said I apologize

She much obliged

Made amends

Once again

They're friends to the end

Yeah it was true love again

As transparent as lens

As apparent as kin

What defines a friend

Where does it lie

In the mind

In the money

In the face

In the eyes

In the days and the nights

What is a friend

Do you love and leave it

Again and again

In the time

In the sadness

In the hurt

In the pride

It's the person dispersin'

Through the hands of time

[Chorus]

Oh

Oh oh

I thought you were my friend

What kind of friend?

What kind of friend?
