Friends (Those Girls)

Friends?
How many of us really have one?
Hey

I never thought I'd be saying this
But I'll never bring my man around my friends again
Cause the main ones that be hatin' him
Be the same ones tryna get a piece of him
Oh yes they tell me this and they tell me that
I believe what they say
And then I question you
I figured out what they said behind your back
It was a front, just tryna get next to you

[Chorus:]
Those were the same girls
Who said I should leave you
Those were the same girls
Who said I don't need you
Those were the same girls
Who sat around and dissed you
Those were the same girls
Who said I should quit you
Those were the same girls
Who said you be schemin'
Those were the same girls
Who said they caught you slippin'
But baby now I get the picture
Those were the same girls
That wanted to get wit'cha, hey

I guess I really thought they were really close to me
Tell them everything about you and me
From the sex to the night you wouldn't come home and
To the fights we had in our relationship
I guess they was using it for their gain
Cause they dogged you out and I would do the same
I kept 'em close and my enemies far away
I had it twisted cause I used to hear them say

I could do better than you
I could do better than you
That's what they used to say
Everyday, all day
They was plotting to take you away baby
But now I don't love 'em
I don't trust 'em, I don't see 'em
I don't need 'em
You're what I need, please believe me
I let go of my so-called friends
But I remember when they used to tell me

[Chorus]

My supposedly good friends
Who were constantly shady
Who hated all my men
Cause they wanted to be with them
They wanted to walk in my shoes
To see how he do me like he do
They talked about him then
They just wanted to be with him

[Chorus: x3]
