[Intro]
AIR, first things first and last things last
We wan' send respect due to Randy Ran
And we wan' say, when we have friend
Friend is friend like bredren and sistren
One love to we art and we love one another

What about your friends?
What about
What about your friends?
What about your
What about your

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Every now and then, I get a little crazy
That's not the way it's supposed to be
Sometimes my vision is a little hazy
I can't tell who I should trust or just who I let trust me, yeah
People try to say I act a little funny
But that's just a figure of speech to me
They tell me I changed because I got money
But if you were there before, then you're still down with me, yeah

[Chorus: All]
What about your friends?
Will they stand their ground?
Will they let you down again?
What about your friends?
Are they gonna be low down?
Will they ever be around?
Or will they turn their backs on you?
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: T-Boz, with Chilli]
Every now and then, I get a little easy
I let a lot of people depend on me
I never thought they would ever deceive me
Don't you know when times got rough
I was standing on my own
I'll never let another get that close to me
You see, I've grown a lot smarter now
Sometimes you have to choose and then you'll see
If your friend is true, they'll be there with you
Through the thick and thin

[Chorus: All, T-Boz, Chilli]
What about your friends? (What about your friends?)
Will they stand their ground?
Will they let you down again? (Whoa)
What about your friends? (What about your friends?)
Are they gonna be low down (Be low down)
Will they ever be around? (Be around)
Or will they turn their backs on you?
What about your friends? (What about your friends?)
Will they stand their ground? (Will they stand their ground?)
Will they let you down again? (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
What about your friends? (What about your friends?)
Are they gonna be low down (Be low down)
Will they ever be around? (Be around, oh)
Or will they turn their backs on you?
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: All, Chilli]
What about your friends?
Will they stand their ground?
Will they let you down again? (Whoa)
What about your friends? (What about your friends?)
Are they gonna be low down? (Be low down)
Will they ever be around? (Be around)
Or will they turn their backs on you?
What about your friends?
Will they stand their ground? (Will they stand their ground?)
Will they let you down again? (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
What about your friends? (What about your friends?)
Are they gonna be low down? (Be low down)
Will they ever be around? (Be around, oh)
Or will they turn their backs on you?
