A Friend of Mine (Extended Mix)

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, oh, yeah, with a friend of mine

A friend of mine told me

You would never amount to anything, yes, he did, y'all

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've kept the faith until the end

But this is the sad part

You're still in my heart

It didn't, didn't have to be like that (No, no, no)

If I had any sense, I would have fought back

(And 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

They said you're doing fine with a friend of mine

(A friend of mine told me)

A friend of mine (A friend of mine told me)

I never should've let you go (A friend of mine told me)

Hey, baby, I can't believe it (A friend of mine told me)

And she was always hanging around (A friend of mine told me)

I didn't know why she kept saying (A friend of mine told me)

He's doing this, and he's doing that

I should've known something else was on her mind (A friend of mine told me)

But oh, no, I couldn't see (A friend of mine told me)

Not me, so I, I learned a lesson the hard way (A friend of mine told me)

And that is, it ain't your enemies you gotta worry about (A friend of mine told me)

You gotta keep an eye, keep an eye, keep an eye on your close, close friends

(A friend of mine told me)

Yeah (A friend of mine told me)

That friend you confide in (A friend of mine told me)

The one who knows your most intimate thoughts (A friend of mine told me)

The one who likes what you like (A friend of mine told me)

I believed in a friend (A friend of mine told me)

Now look at the mess I'm in

You're doing fine, oh, yeah (A friend of mine told me)

You're doing fine, ooh, baby (A friend of mine told me)

You're doing fine, ooh, with a friend of mine (A friend of mine told me)

(You're doing fine) (A friend of mine told me)

With a friend of mine (You're doing fine) (A friend of mine told me)

I never should've let you go (You're doing fine) (A friend of mine told me)

(You're doing fine) (A friend of mine told me)
