A friend of mine told me that you were just no good And you never would be A friend of mine told me that the best thing to do Would be to set you free
So I let you slip away (Slip away) And I just got the news today You’re doing fine, yeah, with a friend of mine
A friend of mine told me You would never amount to anything, yes she did A friend of mine told me That heartache and trouble is all you’d bring
Like a fool I let you go (Let you go) And wasn’t I surprised to know You’re doing fine with a friend of mine Uh-huh, you’re doing fine with a friend of mine
I’ll never forget it I’ll always regret it I should have kept the faith until the end
But this is the sad part You’re still in my heart Didn’t, didn’t have to be like that, oh no If I had any sense I would have fought back
(But I let you) I let you slip away (Slip away) And I just got the news today You’re doing fine, oh yeah You’re doing fine now They said you’re doing fine With a friend of mine (A friend of mine told me) With a friend of mine (A friend of mine told me) I never should’ve let you go (A friend of mine told me) Yeah, baby, I can’t believe it (A friend of mine told me) But she was always hangin’ around (A friend of mine told me) I didn’t know why… [fade]
