A friend of mine told me that you were just no good And you would never 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 And I just got the news today You're doing fine with a friend of mine A friend of mine told me You would never amount to anything A friend of mine told me That heartache and trouble is all you'd bring Like a fool I let you go And wasn't I surprised to know You're doing fine with a friend of mine 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 If I had any sense I would have fought back But I let you slip away And I just got the news today You're doing fine You're doing fine You're doing fine with a friend of mine
