Kelly Price Lyrics
"Friend of Mine"

[Mr. Biggs]
Yeah, Kelly
You there
Now listen, baby
I got your message
I'm just confused
I dont understand everything
But im on my way other there to ya
Now you stay on the phone
And tell me everything that went down

[Kelly]
See, I was the one who picked her up
When so-called friends let her down (un uh)
And I was the one who took in
When that fool put her out (I know)
A true friend indeed
You see, I was there when chips was going down (you know I know)
But she betrayed me
Caught him with her, coming in from outta town (you what)

[chorus]
Tell me why (oh shit, why)
Why yi yi [4x]
I wanna know
Why yi yi [4x]

(Why baby, I ought to get something over there, ooh)

[Kelly]
Now I put my trust in him
I can't believe he slept with her behind my back (oh, oh)
I went out on a limb
I even covered up to keep this thing in tact (yeah)
What he had in me was something real
That's so hard to come about (oh, oh, oh)
But he betrayed me
There was a photo and some laundry that I found

[chorus]
Tell me why (oh, oh why)
Why yi yi [4x]
I put all my trust in you, baby (ooh why)
Why yi yi [4x]

She was my best friend, ooh yeah yeah, ooh yeah yeah
Come with me through thick and thin, my homie, my homie
Sisters to the very end and i
I can't believe it, can't believe, can't believe it, no no
He meant everything to me, everything to me
But out the door, he's history
We could've had everything
I can't believe it, can't believe it, can't believe it

[Mr. Biggs]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Kelly]
Why, why, why

[Mr. Biggs]
Why

[Kelly]
I can't believe, can't believe it

[Mr. Biggs]
Kelly, let me call him up

[Kelly]
No

[Mr. Biggs]
And just talk to him

[Kelly]
There's nothing to say, cause it's too late

[Mr. Biggs]
Ooh, I know it
But it's just the principle about the whole thing
I'm your Godfather and I can't stand for nobody to hurt you, baby
So just call him up

[Kelly]
No, oh

[Mr. Biggs]
Call him, baby

[Kelly]
No

[Mr. Biggs]
Call him, right now

[Kelly]
Alright I'm callin', I'm callin'

[Mr. Biggs]
Call him

[phone rings]

[R. Kelly]
Uh, hello
Who is this

[Mr. Biggs]
This is Mr. Biggs

[R. Kelly]
How you doing Mr. Biggs

[Mr. Biggs]
What the hell is going on

[R. Kelly]
What you mean, what's going on

[Mr. Biggs]
Kelly's tellin' me, that you sleepin' with another woman

[R. Kelly]
Just because she sees me with her
Doesn't mean I'm sleepin' with

[Mr. Biggs]
Well, if you ain't sleepin' with her
What the hell you doing with her

[R. Kelly]
Damn, I can be just talking to her

[Mr. Biggs]
Or you could be just creepin' with her
Now son, man to man
We both know the game

[R. Kelly]
But yet, what's that got to...

[Mr. Biggs]
Now, wait a minute
And you know...all about heartache and pain
This is my Goddaughter
And I'm just tryin' to protect her heart
You may have been a moon to her
But to me, she's the star

[chorus]

[Mr. Biggs]
Kelly, take this home

[Kelly]
She was my best friend
You were my husband
Oh, but I don't want you
No, no, no, no, no more
Said, I don't want you
No, no, no, no, no more
See you shaped and molded me
To be what you wanted me to be
She was a leaf in your life
I was the root to your tree
Whoa
