Emma Lee Bunton (born 21 January 1976) is an English pop singer, songwriter, and occasional actress, originally from the girl group Spice Girls, where she was known as "Baby Spice". Her debut solo album entitled "A Girl Like Me" spawned the UK number-one hit "What Took You So Long?", as well as the top five hits "What I Am" (a cover of a 1998's song earlier recorded by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians) and "Take My Breath Away" (which was not a cover of Berlin's 1986's hit), and top twenty hit "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight". The album sold around 125,000 in the UK. In spring of 2003, she returned as Emma (losing the Bunton), with the top five hit "Free Me" and later that year released "Maybe", which also went top ten and outsold the previous single. In spring of 2004, the single "I'll Be There" and the album "Free Me" were released.

She Was A Friend Of Mine Lyrics
Emma Bunton
Ooh yeah
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
I trusted her with him
Thats where the story begins
We talked of boys and men
They all came second then
I made a sacrifice
And trusted all her advice
There was no need to fight
Things were so simple then
One by one she broke her promises
I guess she thought that she could take my man
I just gotta let her know
His love is for me, and thats the way the story goes
She was a friend of mine
Or so I thought at the time
How could I be so blind to trust her with my man
She fooled me with her eyes
And hid behind a disguise
Ive read between the lines and now I understand
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
She said shed make it right
And talk to him late at night
Told me to take it slow
But little did I know
She had a master plan
I had my head in the sand
But now its plain to see
She chose him over me
Every day shes smiling in my face
But every night shes trying to take my place
She said shed always be right there for me
But now I can see the kind of help I just dont need
She was a friend of mine
Or so I thought at the time
How could I be so blind to trust her with my man (to trust her with my man)
She fooled me with her eyes
And hid behind a disguise
Ive read between the lines and now I understand (and now I understand)
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
(and now I understand)
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
(and now I understand)
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
(she was a friend of mine)
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
(how could I be so blind)
Never thought friends could be so cruel
I never thought you could break all the rules
Now its you who looks like a fool
Cos what goes around, comes around
Ooh-yeah
She was a friend of mine (she was a friend of mine)
Or so I thought at the time
How could I be so blind to trust her with my man (to trust her with my man)
She fooled me with her eyes
And hid behind a disguise
Ive read between the lines and now I understand (and now I understand)
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
(yeah-yeah-eh)
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-eh
She was a friend of mine (she was a friend of mine)
Or so I thought at the time
How could I be so blind to trust her with my man
She fooled me with her eyes (fooled me with her eyes)
And hid behind a disguise
Ive read between the lines and now I understand (now I understand)
And now I understand
Now I understand
And now I understand
