A Friend of Mine

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…
