Friends, friends, friends   Friends, friends, friends   Come on, come on   Come on, come on      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, that friends won?t be around   That 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      Smiles they hide behind, never know what?s on their mind   Could be true deception   Jealousy and envy reign they 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, don't be scared   Friends are hard to find   Friends are hard to find   Friends are hard to find, don't be scared   What happened to the kisses and ride, how are you?      You used to me kiss me, tell me you missed me   But now you try to glaze me, play me and diss me   Uh, wide awake, ready to break, so we argue   What happened to the kisses and ride, how are you?      Forgot about the times when I rhymed, when I bathed you   Dreams was the only little things that I gave you   You still ain't thankful, you?re still complainin?   Used to be a quiet storm but now it?s rainin?      Farther 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 vibe 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 can find 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?   Yeah, friends are hard to find, friends, yours and mine   I?m talkin? ?bout your friends      They say they'll be with you through all times of thick and thin   A shoulder to rely on, on the days that life gets rough   There to wipe your tears away from that new heart break   But when it happens, you can't find them, where are your friends?      Friends, friends, friends   Friends, friends, friends   Come on, come on, come on, come on   Come on, come on, come on, come on   Come on, come on, come on, come on   Come on, come on      Come on, come on, come on, come on   Are you ready?   Come on, come on, come on, come on   Are you ready?   Come on, come on, come on, come on   Are you ready?      Friends are hard to find, so be careful   You could find an inch or mile if I pay 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, leave the people who need you   For those who hold you back and mislead you   So be a leader, don?t get lead on unleaded   The wrong direction, a dead end?s next then      You need a detour, life?s like a seesaw   Ups and downs, and I?ll bet there?ll be more   Potholes and obstacles in our path, that?s righteous   At times we need a hand to fight this      Way of life, straighten up, take the door to the placid   And don?t you act two-faced   ?Cause jealousy and envy and you still act friendly   You could find the end when pretend to be      Friends   Friends   Friends   ...
