[Verse 1]
Let the record show, friends do come and go
That's the way life goes
Why do people change and memories fade away?
This we'll never know
You see, when I

[Pre-Chorus]
See, when I find a friend
For whom I deeply care
(For whom I deeply care)
I give my all and all
I'm there for every call
I'm always there
(Said I'm always there)
But when I'm down I look around
Just to find there's no one there
(No one there)
Said they laugh in my face
And I'm filled with disgrace, don't

[Chorus]
Don't take my kindness for granted
(My kindness for granted)
And don't take my sweetness as a weakness
(Oh, oh, oh)
They say the ones closest to you can hurt you
(Oh, hurt you, baby)
Please don't prove what they say to be true
[Verse 2]
I call you on the phone
Seems you're never home
Tell me what is wrong
(Please tell me why)
Why do people change and memories fade away
To a place unknown
See, when I

[Pre-Chorus]
See, when I find a friend
For whom I deeply care
(For whom)
I give my all and all
I'm there for every call
I'm always there
(I'm always there)
But when I'm down I look around
Just to find that no one's there
(No one there)
They laugh in my face
And I'm filled with disgrace

[Chorus]
Don't take my kindness for granted
(Don't take my kindness for granted)
And don't take my sweetness as a weakness
(Yeah, they say the ones)
They say the ones closest to you can hurt you
(Oh, hurt you, baby)
Please don't prove what they say to be true
[Outro]
(If) If you believe in loyal friendship (Loyal friendship)
Then you would be singing this tune
(Da-la-da-da-da, da-da-da)
Don't, don't, don't you take, you take my time, my time
My life, my life, ooh, ooh, for a weakness
Don't, don't, don't you take, you take my time, my time
My life, my life, ooh, ooh, ooh, for a weakness
Don't, don't, don't you take, you take my time, my time
My life, my life, ooh, ooh, ooh, for a weakness
Don't, don't, don't you take, you take my time, my time
My life, my life, ooh, ooh, ooh, for a weakness
Don't
