False Friends

Just when I thought everything was good
Friend I guess I misunderstood
Thought that we had mutual respect
Now I see the thanks that we get

So be careful who you choose as your friends
For they might let you down in the end
Just when I thought, a real good friend I found
They pick you up to let you down, yeah

Them let you down down down
They let you down down down
Them let you down down down
Down down down down down

So my son always bear in mind
A faithful friend is the hardest thing to find
It is better an open enemy
A false friend is the hardest thing to see

'Cause when times are good when the friends are plenty
In times of trouble, we're not one in twenty
Just when I thought, a real good friend I found
They pick you up to let you down, ah

We were friends, we were friends
Real good friends, we were friends
We were friends, we were friends
And I remember when

Just when I thought everything was good
My friend I guess I misunderstood
Thought that we had love and respect
But now I see the thanks that we get

So I'm careful who I choose as my friends
For they might let me down in the end
Just a thought, when I thought, when I thought

Them let you down down down
Them let you down down down
Them let you down down down
Down down down down down

They let you down down down
Them let you down down down
Them let you down down down
Down down down down down

We were friends, we were friends
Real good friends, real good friends
We were friends, we were friends
And I remember when were good friends
Real good friends
