Discover the story of the song > Friends – Jody Watley

The lyrics are about the protagonist being betrayed by friends who were not really her friends. They might have stolen her lover, lied, or been jealous and envious. The chorus repeats that friends will let you down and won't be around when you need them the most. The message is to be careful when choosing friends and not to pretend to be someone you're not, or you'll end up getting hurt in the end.
