I recall when you once said

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 thier 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 thats 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, and such a fool was I
Happy-go-lucky thats 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 thier 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 thats turned on you,
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?
