Tell me what kind of friend is this
What kind of friend is this?
Who loves me behind my back
What kind of friend is this
Shows up every place I've been
She act kind of 'lone
but she don't
She making a loan
But you know she won't
She got a language in the morning
And she's making it on my bed
Aw, what kind of friend is this.

What kind of friend is this
makin'
What kind of friend is this
Losing up anything
Back off, boy
When she goes down
Lay down laid
She's walking around
Well, she ain't got nothin'
but she's teedle toodle tummin' on a
pack of beens
Tell me what kind of friend is this?

       F
Well she don't lean if she don't man
      C
You know she's gonna be her dog.
F
She done gone, She no ho
C                             G7
Heat stopped a-beating and she
Well, what kind of friend is this
make me holler to and fro
who wants to go everywhere I wanna go
Back off, she
don't care for me
own lady
if she could only see
I'd give her everything
If she comes back along to this.
Tell me what kind of friend is this?
