Try to pretend the you don't 
see, look away as you walk on 
by me. I tried to laugh at your
little game; just yesterday, you
were calling my name.

You called me up yesterday,
but that was when things were
going my way. 
Now that's changed,
I'm no longer cool to know.
Is that why, when I passed you
by, no reaction did you show?

You're the friend I don't need, 
only around when my world is
all right. Fair weather friend,
you I don't need
My life goes awry, and you're 
nowhere in sight.

Call me up on the phone when
you hear good things of me;
fair weather friend,
fair weather friend,
for you it's so easy.
Realize I need you most when
my luck turns around,
that is when, that is when,
you're nowhere to be found

You're the friend I don't need,
only around when my world is
all right. Fair weather friend
you I don't need.
My life goes awry,
and you're nowhere in sight.

Try to pretend that you don't 
see, look away as you walk on 
by me. I tried to laugh at your
little game, fair weather friend,
now I know your name.
