Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Promises, promises
Old, tired, worn out, second hand sentences
One thing with you is certain
You're a really sad person
So sad
[Verse 2]
Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for?
[Verse 3]
(What friends are for?)
What friends are for?
(What friends are for?) What are friends for?
[Verse 4]
You, you're just a really bad person
Who won't, you won't, listen to anyone
No not you, with those half moon eyelids
Just babbling on, your useless defenses
So sad
[Verse 5]
Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for?
[Verse 6]
(What friends are for?)
What friends are for?
(What friends are for?) What are friends for?
(Ahhh, ahhh)
[Verse 7]
This erratic haphazard, fluttering
This to-ing and fro-ing
Like a confused moth
The collusion, illusion
And it's all ad infinitum
You're a really sad person
You're really so sad
[Verse 8]
Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for?
[Verse 9]
(What friends are for?)
What friends are for?
(What friends are for?) What are friends for?
(Ahhh, ahhh) So sad
[Verse 10]
Fools and horses
Running their courses
And brow beaten down
Like dust on the ground
[Verse 11]
You cheat easily
Like sweet charity
And all of the bastards
The world all despises
[Verse 12]
Springing surprises
In newer disguises
You cheat easily
Like all charity
[Verse 13]
Fools and horses
Running their courses
And brow beaten down
Like dust on the ground
[Verse 14]
You cheat easily
Like sweet charity
And all of the bastards
The world all despises
[Verse 15]
Springing surprises
In newer disguises
You cheat easily
Like sweet charity
[Verse 16]
Fools and horses
Running their courses
And brow beaten down
Like dust on the ground
[Verse 17]
You cheat easily
Like sweet charity
