Friends' Advice (Don't Take It)

Don't take it...

They tell you he's not right for you

Don't they think you know that, too?

I know that he's not playing fair

I've known it for years, well I'm still here

Do you think that I care?

They say, 'Go out and have some fun'

'Go out,' they say, 'with other men'

That sounds like a simple task

But what do you do when no one asks

Do you go out with his best friend?

When it comes to friends' advice

The following usually applies:

Listen to it

Sort it through it

Contemplate it

But don't take it

After a month, I was tired of staying home

I looked great, but so what? I was alone

See, the last time I listened to my friends

I saw one of them walking down the street

With my ex-man

I know he is a naughty boy (uh huh)

And that's exactly what I enjoy

My friends could never ever handle him

Which is the reason they don't understand

My friends are trying to save my sanity

I really do hear what they're telling me

It's just too hard to take them seriously

Cause girlfriends, they don't practice what they preach

One of them's going with Jack the Ripper

One of them's got a snob

One never gets taken out to dinner

One of them's got a slob

One of them's got the bore of the year

Another one's got a fool

One's got a man that don't even care

The other has one who's still in high school

The rest are alone

[Chorus]
