He says you want a brand new start 
She says that we've grown apart 
I know a thing or two I speak from the heart 
Don't insult me with what your friends say 
After all that we've been through 
You'd owe that to me like I'd owe that to you 
So go your own way and in time you'll see 
Exactly who your best friend was 
Your wise friends might say 
This is how we survive 
But I know in my own mind 
Can't you see it's a clever disguise 
This friendly advice 
We'd come such a long long way 
I don't give a damn baby what they say 
Your mind is full of wonders and that's o.k. 
Didn't mean to lay your dreams so low 
And now you've made your choice 
I believe in my heart I know you like nobody else 
I know in my mind in time you'll see 
Exactly who your real friend was 
Friendly Advice 
And your jive friends might say 
This is how we survive 
But I know im my own mind 
Can't you see it's a clever disguise 
I saw a film just the other day 
About two people who reminded me of us 
It's funny in this age of illusion 
It's hard to tell what's fact or fiction

And I hope that you'll see in time 
Just who your best friend was baby
