I recall when you once said

"There's truth in both of us

And all that lies ahead."

I take it your tongue,
It just got twisted,

Or maybe it got tired,

Or maybe your memory waved goodbye.

When your so-called friends forget your name

When your so-called friends, they aint the same

When your so-called friends, they've lost their way

And they aint what they was just the other day, hey

Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say

Just like a dog that's turned on you,

Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?

How I couldn't see thru your thin disguise,

Lord only knows, in the end, such a fool was I

Happy-go-lucky that’s what I was, and what I hope to be

But I feel that I've lost that side of me

When your so-called friends forget your name

When your so-called friends they aint the same

When your so-called friends they've lost their way

And they aint what they was just the other day, hey

Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say

Just like a dog that's turned on you,

Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?
