[Verse 1] With friends like these, who needs enemies? You know the type, smile, then they bleed you dry They call you late, when the room runs out And if you hesitate, they make your kindness doubt [Pre-Chorus] Still you let them in Still you make a place You keep the door unlocked They keep changing faces And I can't tell if you don't see it Or if your heart just won't believe it [Chorus] With friends like these Who needs enemies? With friends like these You still say please You keep them close Like it's meant to be With friends like these Who needs enemies? [Verse 2] They take the couch, they take the last plate Leave a cold goodbye At the end of the day You hand them grace, they hand you smoke You patch the cracks They just poke and poke [Pre-Chorus] Still you let them in Still you make a place You keep the door unlocked They keep changing faces And I can't tell if you don't see it Or if your heart just won't believe it [Chorus] With friends like these Who needs enemies? With friends like these You still say please You keep them close Like it's meant to be With friends like these Who needs enemies? [Bridge] Maybe you hate the ache of being right Maybe you call it love when it drains your life But I see the cuts behind your grin You don't owe them what they never give [Final Chorus] With friends like these Who needs enemies? With friends like these You still say please You keep them close Like it's meant to be With friends like these Who needs enemies? [We know them, and we all wonder if indeed will come a time our patience and kindness wells will run dry and need to cut them (#MASSholes, may not be an "I" in Team but they put the "Hole" in the "A" LOL) loose. We need POSITIVE people in our Lives, to keep our Lives on solid ground. Continuation of https://tinyurl.com/LifeAndLivingSeries (books and music of Joseph M Lenard (author/podcaster)). Kinda a SOUL SUCKER types (see that JLenardDetroit tune too) of the Friends zone kind.]
