She Was A Friend Of Mine

She Was A Friend Of Mine


Ooh yeah





Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh


Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh





I trusted her with him


That's where the story begins


We talked of boys and men


They all came second then





I made a sacrifice


And trusted all her advice


There was no need to fight


Things were so simple then





One by one she broke her promises


I guess she thought that she could take my man


I just gotta let her know


His love is for me, and that's the way the story goes





She was a friend of mine


Or so I thought at the time


How could I be so blind to trust her with my man


She fooled me with her eyes


And hid behind a disguise


I've read between the lines and now I understand





Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh


Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh





She said she'd make it right


And talk to him late at night


Told me to take it slow


But little did I know





She had a master plan


I had my head in the sand


But now it's plain to see


She chose him over me





Every day she's smiling in my face


But every night she's trying to take my place


She said she'd always be right there for me


But now I can see the kind of help I just don't need





She was a friend of mine


Or so I thought at the time


How could I be so blind to trust her with my man (to trust her with my man)


She fooled me with her eyes


And hid behind a disguise


I've read between the lines and now I understand (and now I understand)





Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh


(And now I understand)


Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh


(And now I understand)


Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh


(She was a friend of mine)


Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh


(How could I be so blind)





Never thought friends could be so cruel


I never thought you could break all the rules


Now it's you who looks like a fool


Cos what goes around, comes around





Ooh-yeah
