'Til the end...
'Til the end...
My friend, Kelly's got a problem in her life
She's got a man who doesn't love her
And never treats her right
Now he hits her and he beats her
And nearly took her life
And now she's lying in a hospital bed
And all I can do is cry
She was my friend
'Til the end
There's no-one better than her
She was always there
'Til the end
There was no need to apologise
She never did nothing to me
She was my friend
'Til the end
My friend, Jamie, he'd never had a fight
He was the sweetest kind of guy
He could always make me smile
Then he caught the street life
And he started selling drugs
Then they found him in a puddle
And it was no love
He was my friend
'Til the end
There's no-one better than him
He was always there
'Til the end
There was no need to apologise
He never did nothing to me
He was my friend
'Til the end
You gotta love yourself
Hold youself
Squeeze yourself
Kiss yourself
And never let nobody
Else come disrespect yourself
Life is short and life is good
And life is sweet
But you never know
When life will come and pull you off your feet
You only get one chance
You gotta take it
If you believe in you
You're gonna make it
Whenever things go wrong
Now you can make it right
Don't ever let no-one
No-one control your life
He was my friend
'Til the end
There's no-one better than him
He was always there
'Til the end
There was no need to apologise
She never did nothing to me
She was my friend
'Til the end
He was my friend
She was my friend
'Til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
