Fairweather Friend Lyrics

Hey how you been, nice to see you again
my fairweather friend
it's too cool to see a face from way back when
my fairweather friend

when i'm riding high
you're always by my side
when i'm laid low
you abandon me

how do you do what can i do for you
my fairweather friend
better use me up now while i'm still of use
my fairweather friend

when i'm riding high
you're always by my side
when i'm laid low you abandon me (don't see you around here anymore)
i really don't have the time for you
my fairweather friend
don't want to have to be nice to you
my fairweather friend

when i'm riding high you're always by my side
when i'm laid low you abandon me (don't see you around here anymore)
I really don't have the time for you
my fairweather friend
don't want to have to be nice to you
my fairweather friend
there's no room in my life for you
my fairweather friend
time to say goodbye to you
my fairweather friend

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Yeah, this song is pretty obviously about those friends. The kind that you stop and see in the street and talk for about a minute and then you don't see them for another year. Everyone's got some fairweather friends.
