In a time When I was blind I let you take me in But don’t you do What others do When I see you again. ’Cause I’d rather be your enemy Than hear you call me friend I’d rather be your enemy Than hear you call me friend. You know I’d rather be your enemy Than hear you call me friend I’d rather be your enemy Than hear you call me friend.
