Move Along - Beres Hammond & Cutty Ranks

Friends, what are you supposed to do? Should you build me up or break me down? Friends, what are you there for? If you're in my need, you're never around Friends, what are your duties? Does it mean loyalty? Tell me the truth even when it hurts No matter what it may be 'Cause I got my problems And you know that I got them But you still sayin' nothin' Though you know I'm hurtin' Half way smiling means something's hiding And you're keeping the solution Friends don't mean a thing If when I'm down you keep me down Friends don't mean a thing If I can't cry on your shoulder Ever so often I get disappointed Now I got nothing else to prove Y'all have been acting upon my weakness All in the name of love Now I keep a close eye on all those who deny Those who are leaving alive, don't think you've won In your head I'm from the rebel Think I'll get miserable, you made me struggle Didn't know I'm able to check my timetable And no good people help me some fund Friends don't mean a thing If when I'm down you keep me down Friends don't mean a thing If I can't cry on your shoulder Friends don't mean a thing If when I'm down you keep me down Friends don't mean a thing If I can't cry on your shoulder Friend, do you know what's a secret?
