Lyrics
I never knew you were my fairweather friend
I always thought you stood beside me to the end
Rain sets in, you see it coming, run again
I didn’t know you were my fairweather friend, fairweather friend
Lightening strikes twice when you find a friend
You I could relax with
We knew more in an instant than others their whole lives
So I knew you were my true friend
I never knew you were my fairweather friend
I always thought you stood beside me to the end
Rain sets in, you see it coming, run again
I didn’t know you were my fairweather friend, fairweather friend
Trouble in my life so I asked you for help
You I could rely on
But you turned and I saw a face I had not seen before
“no” you said, you didn’t want my troubles in your life
I never knew you were my fairweather friend
I always thought you stood beside me to the end
Rain sets in, you see it coming, run again
I didn’t know you were my fairweather friend, fairweather friend
Sometimes, sometimes life don’t come easy
I don’t know what it’s to do with
Oh, banish me from sunny days, give me rain
Roll me with thunder, chill me to the bone ‘till I’m freezing again
I never knew you were my fairweather friend
I always thought you stood beside me to the end
Rain sets in, you see it coming, run again
I didn’t know you were my fairweather friend, fairweather friend
