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 doesnt know the meaning of friends



And if you ask me, you know, I couldnt 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



Homeboys through the Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall

And then there's some we wish we never knew at all

And this list goes on, again and again

But these are the people that we call friends



When we first went out together, we barely knew each other

We had no intentions, on becoming lovers

But in no time at all, you became my girl

Me and you, one on one, against the world

Talkin on the telephone for hours at a time

Or else I was at your house, or you was at mine

Then came the arguements and all kinds of problems

Besides making love, we had nothing in common

It couldnt last long because it started out strong

But I guess we went about the whole thing wrong

Cause out of nowhere it just came to an end

Because we became lovers before we were friends

You 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

Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys

With friends like that you dont need enemies



You wonder how long it was all going on

And your still not sure if your man is gone

You say, well if she took him he was never mine

But deep inside you know thats just another lie



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
