Cast out into the street
With nowhere to call my home
It wasn't so long ago
I didn't feel so alone
I remember when we made the promise
To stay together 'til the end
But it wouldn't take very long
For you to find another friend

How could I have been so blind
Oi! used to be a friend of mine
No one's as good as you, I'll never find
Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine
And now it's gone

In the corner of my eye
I swear sometimes I see
You're standing there, lookin' at me
The way you used to look at me
I promised I'd never cry
I'd continue to be strong
But you had to up and leave
It didn't take very long

How could I have been so blind
Oi! used to be a friend of mine
No one's as good as you, I'll never find
Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine
And now it's gone

Now I'm standing in the rain
Thinking of how it used to be
Where did it all go wrong?
Please tell me
The rain is falling down
So you'll never see
The tears are in my eyes
When I remember you and me

How could I have been so blind
Oi! used to be a friend of mine
No one's as good as you, I'll never find
Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine
Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine
Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine
Oi! Oi! Oi! used to be a friend of mine
And now it's gone
