The Supremes - Keep An Eye lyrics

rate me

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

Keep an eye

Keep an eye

Keep an eye

On your close friend

Keep an eye

Keep an eye

Keep an eye

On your close friend

'Cause what you got that'll make you lose

And then turn around and step in your shoes

I say they'll turn around

And step in your shoes

Like the day I stood there numb

Watchin' my friend walk away

With my love on her arm

No, what she left me was

The memory of the moment when she said

"I'm sorry for what I have to do

But you see I love him just as much as you"

Keep an eye

Keep an eye

On your close friend

Keep an eye

Keep an eye

You better watch out

For your close friend

The devil's workshop is a busy place

On top of evil there's an innocent face

Oh, on top of evil he puts an innocent face

She was just like a spider

Only twice as smart

Kindness was the thread

She used to weave our world apart

It used to be three of us seen all over town

Now there's only two

Someone's missing guess who

Now I see how she schemed and finally

Worked her way in between

She planted seeds of mistrust here and there

Causin' us to fight unaware

Her comforting way when I would cry

Shadowed the look of triumph in her eye

Just like a snake on a limb of a tree

A friend is an enemy you can see

'Cause what you got that'll make you lose

And then turn around and step in your shoes

They'll turn around

And step in your shoes

So you better keep an eye on your close friend

You better watch out for your close friend

Don't trust nobody

Don't trust nobody

Keep an eye on your close friend

You better watch out for your close friend
