You Wanna Dance With Me Lyrics - 1989
Friends
feat. Eric B. & Rakim
Have you ever been stabbed in the back
By someone you thought was really cool
Did they steal your lover or was it money
Or was it lies they told
Strangers just disguise as your friends
Never again cause now you know
Friends will let you down
Friends won
When you need them most
Where are your friends
Friends are hard to find
Friends yours and mine
I
Smiles they hide behind
Never know what
Could be true deception
Jealousy and envy reign
Never want to see you get ahead
They just hold you back
Friends will let you down
Friends won
When you need them most
Where are your friends
Friends are hard to find
Friends yours and mine
I
(Rakim Rap)
You used to kiss me and tell me you miss me
But now you try to glaze me, play me, and diss me
I
What happened to the kisses and the
Forgot about the times when I rhymed when I bathed you
Dreams was the only little things that I gave you
Still ain
Used to be a quiet storm, but now it
Harder than ever I
If we should be friends, let it end
Is it better to forget or remember your body
The vibe that I send her makes her surrender
The feelings of capture caught in a rapture
No woman can match you, so when I
Paint a perfect picture so you can remember me
But you could find the end if you pretend to be
Friends will let you down
Friends won
When you need them most
Where are your friends
Friends are hard to find
Friends yours and mine
I
They say they
Through all times of thick and thin
A shoulder to rely on
On the days that life gets rough
There to wipe your tears away
From that new heart break
But when it happens
You can
Where are your friends
(Eric B. Rap)
Friends are hard to find, so be careful
You can find them and to remind and they
But some ain
To get their fingertips on what one might have
Bite the hand that feeds you; leave the people who need you
For those who hold you back and mislead you
So be a leader, don
Or lead in a wrong direction, a dead end
You need a detour; life
Up
Potholes and obstacles in the path, that
At times you need a hand to fight this way of life
Straighten up, take the door and replace it
And don
Cause jealousy and envy and you still act friendly
You could find the end, when you pretend to be
