Songtext She was a friend of mine Emma Bunton

She was a friend of mine

I trusted her with him,
That's where the story begins.
We talked of boys and men,
They all came second then.
I made a sacrifice,
I trusted all her advice.
There was no need to fight.
Things were so simple then.
One by one she broke her promises.
I guess she thought that she could take my man,
And I just gotta let her know
His love is for me,
But that's the way the story goes.
She was a friend of mine,
Or so I thought at the time.
How could I be so blind
To trust her with my man?
She fooled me with her eyes
And hid behind a disguise.
I read between the lines
And now I understand.

She said she'd make it right
And talk to him late at night.
Told me to take it slow,
But little did I know
She had a master plan.
I had my head in the sand,
But now it's plan to see.
She chose him over me.
Every day – she's smiling in my face.
But every night – she'd tryin' to take my place.
She said she'd always be right there for me
And now I can see
That kind of help I just don't need.

She was a friend of mine,
Or so I thought at the time.
How could I be so blind
To trust her with my man?
She fooled me with her eyes
And hid behind a disguise.
I read between the lines
And now I understand.

Never thought friends could be so cruel.
Never thought you could break all the rules.
Now it's you that looks like a fool
'Cause what goes around
Comes around.

She was a friend of mine,
Or so I thought at the time.
How could I be so blind
To trust her with my man?
She fooled me with her eyes
And hid behind a disguise.
I read between the lines
And now I understand.
