Friends

(album: Friends - 1970)

Well there's friends of mine who walk around
Give ya the impression
That they're real good guys
They smile and say hello, how are ya
Man you're looking good, I hear you're doing fine
When you got money baby
They'll come around to see ya every day
And one day when you got nothing
You'll see them walk away

(Friends) Friends
(Friends) I wanna know
(Friends, friends) Who is my friend?
(Friends, friends) Hey, hey, hey
(Friends)

My style's cool when it's convenient
All depends on who's around
And when you're out of fashion
That's when you're friends put you down

Hey, hey, hey
(Friends, yeah yeah) Hey, hey, hey
(Friends, yeah yeah) Hey, hey, hey
(Friends, yeah yeah) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Friends, yeah yeah)

Well the gatherings of people
You see and play the hero
(Ooh, ooh) Always loud and clear
(Ooh, ooh) I would shout the name so loud in a funny kind of whispering shout
(Ooh, ooh) Everybody has to hear
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) That old man in the corner, sets his wife no longer fooled at all
(Ooh, ooh) Cause she knows that he's really
(Oooh) Not a man at all

Hey
(Friends, friends) I wanna know
(Friends, friends) Who is my friend?
(Friends, friends) Hey, hey, hey
(Friends) Hey, yeah yeah

Well come around and spend your money (money when you're down)
And when you're down they walk away (away, he's going down, down)
I'm going down to the river (to the river just to drown)
I drown to get away (away, from his friends)
From my friends

(Yeah, yeah)
(Friends, yeah yeah)
(Friends, yeah yeah)
(Friends, yeah yeah)

Well come around and spend your money (Woah)
And when you're down they walk away (Woah)
I'm going down to the river (Woah)
I just got to get away
From my friends

(Friends, yeah yeah) Off my hands now
(Friends, yeah yeah)
You're not friends
(Yeah, yeah) Friends

(Yeah yeah) Hey, yeah yeah (friends)
(Woah, friends) Hey, hey, hey
(Woah, friends) Hey, hey, hey
(Woah, friends) Hey, hey, hey
(Woah, friends) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Woah, friends)
