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 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... [fade]
