[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
When things were good
I knew you would always be there for me
Yes, it's true
Friends like you are few and far between
I wish I may, I wish I might
The things you do ain't quite right
Just ain't right

[Chorus]
And still we try to pretend
That you will be here in the end
The best advice that I can lend
Don't ever turn your back on a friend

[Post-Chorus]
Don't turn your back...

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
When things were bad
You always had something else better to do
It's just a lie to think that
I could ever mean anything to you
You steal what's mine then help me look for it
How many times do I pay for it?
How many times?
[Chorus]
And still we try to pretend
That you will be here in the end
The best advice that I can lend
Don't ever turn your back on a friend
Don't ever turn your back on a friend
And still we try to pretend
Don't turn your back on a friend
The best advice that I can lend
Don't turn your back on a friend

[Outro]
Don't turn your back...
