Only when they need you

It's only when they need you they'll make friendship your reward it's down to how much dough you hold n how much crack you've scored, Its only when the sun shines they'll turn up a hand to lend, That's where the turn of phrase comes from,' they're your fair weathered friend, For when the rain is falling or there's snow upon the ground, You turn to find your comrade and they're nowhere to be found, And that's where we're learn the lesson all about where friends can lead you, Oh they'll tell you things you long to hear but only when they need you. Cuz it's only when they need you they come full on with their charms, Face lights up when they see you, welcome you with open arms, It's only when they want a piece of to you that they'll pretend, Put on an act n that's s fact I'll tell you straight my friend, They say practice makes perfect and this is their daily task, Show to you a face but keep their own behind a mask, They're as fickle as a feline they're as wily as a fox, Earned their degree, passed with distinction at the high school of hard knocks, So stand alone in this life and don't ask no one to feed you, Be sure that they'll turn up alright but only when they need you
