Friends? - Beres Hammond

Friends, what are you supposed to do?

Should you build me up or break me down?

Friends, what are you there for?

If you’re in my need, you’re never around

Friends, what are your duties?

Does it mean loyalty?

Tell me the truth even when it hurts

No matter what it may be

'Cause I got my problems

And you know that I got them

But you still sayin' nothin'

Though you know I’m hurtin'

Half way smiling means something’s hiding

And you’re keeping the solution

Friends don’t mean a thing

If when I’m down you keep me down

Friends don’t mean a thing

If I can’t cry on your shoulder

Ever so often I get disappointed

Now I got nothing else to prove

Y’all have been acting upon my weakness

All in the name of love

Now I keep a close eye on all those who deny

Those who are leaving alive, don’t think you’ve won

In your head I’m from the rebel

Think I’ll get miserable, you made me struggle

Didn’t know I’m able to check my timetable

And no good people help me some fund

Friends don’t mean a thing

If when I’m down you keep me down

Friends don’t mean a thing

If I can’t cry on your shoulder

Friends don’t mean a thing

If when I’m down you keep me down

Friends don’t mean a thing

If I can’t cry on your shoulder

Friend, do you know what’s a secret?

Are you sure you know how to keep it?

Based on what I head yesterday

You surely gave me away

Now it’s been said that my bills aren’t paid

I’m running low on bread, it’s going to my head

Check the flow as the story goes

What do you know?

I remember when I had this master plan

And you said we could’ve done

Was you weren’t the one?

Can’t explain, but in the end they glister you again

Friends don’t mean a thing

If when I’m down you keep me down

Friends don’t mean a thing

If I can’t cry on your shoulder

Friends don’t mean a thing

If when I’m down you keep me down

Friends don’t mean a thing

If I can’t cry on your shoulder

Friends don’t mean a thing

If when I’m down you keep me down

Friends don’t mean a thing

If I can’t cry on your shoulder

Friends don’t mean a thing

If when I’m down you keep me down

Friends don’t mean a thing

If I can’t cry on your shoulder

Friends don’t mean a thing

If when I’m down you keep me down

Friends don’t mean a thing

If I can’t cry on your shoulder
