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

Dem let you down, down, down

They let you down, down, down, down

Dem 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, well, our 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

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 I down in the end

Just a thought, when I thought

When I thought

Dem let you down, down, down

Dem let you down, down, down, down

Dem let you down, down, down

Down, down, down, down, down

They let you down, down, down

Dem let you down, down, down

Dem 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 we were good friends

Real good friends
