"Fake Friends" Lyrics

Fake Friends
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna)

When you were down they were never there
All the sycophants they love to make romance
When you're all alone you really get to learn
If you get back up they gonna come around

To the ugly sound of 'em tellin' you what you 'coz
They all agree you're supposed to have a better life
Wanna hear an' you pretend
But you're feelin' worse
An' they build you up 'til you fool yourself that you're

Something else an' it's like a curse cause
An' they tell you that you're losin' friends
You can't live up to what they made of you
Losin' friends, losin' friends

Ya don't lose when you lose fake friends
Ya got nothin to lose
Ya go an tell 'em you were king of the hill
Ya see 'em laugh while
You're on your knees
