Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Cause what you got they'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
I say they'll turn around
And step in your shoes
Like the day I stood there numb
Watchin' my friend walk away
With my love on his arm
And all he left me was
The memory of the moment when he said
"I'm sorry for what I have to do
But you see I love her just as much as you"
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
You better watch out
For your close friend
The devil's workshop is a busy place
On top of evil he puts an innocent face
Oh, on top of evil he puts an innocent face
Cause like a spider only twice as smart
Kindness was the thread
He used to weave my world apart
It used to be three of us seen all over town
Now there's only two
Someone's missing guess who
Now I see how he schemed and finally
Worked his way in between
He planted seeds of mistrust here and there
Causin' us to fight unaware
His comforting way when I would cry
Shadowed the look of triumph in his eye
Just like a snake on a limb of a tree
A friend is an enemy you can see
Cause what you got they'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
Oh I say then turn around
And step in your shoes
So you better keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
I say your best friend, is an enemy
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
You better watch out for your close friend
Don't trust nobody
Oh, keep an eye
Keep an eye
You better watch out for your close friend
Don't trust nobody
Don't trust nobody
Don trust nobody (yeah yeah yeah)
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Cause what you got they'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
I say they'll turn around
And step in your shoes
Like the day I stood there numb
Watchin' my friend walk away
With my love on his arm
And all he left me was
The memory of the moment when he said
"I'm sorry for what I have to do
But you see I love her just as much as you"
