Just when I thought everything was good,
Friend a case I misunderstood
Thought that we had mutual respect,
Now I see the thanks that we get,
So be careful who you chose 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 care in mind,
A faithful friend is hardest thing to find.
It is better an open enemy,
A false friend is hardest thing to see.
'Cause when times are good well are friends are plenty
In times of trouble when not one in twenty,
Just when I thought a real good friend I found,
They pick you up to let you down

We were fiends, we were fiends,
Real good fiends, we were fiends,
We were fiends, we were fiends and I remember when..

Just when I thought everything was good,
My friend a case I misunderstood,
Thought that we had love and respect,
But now I see the thanks that we get,
So I'm careful who I chose as my friends,
For they might let me 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
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 fiends, we were fiends,
Real good fiends, real good fiends,
We were fiends, we were fiends,
And I remember when we were good friends, real good friends
