You've gotta lotta nerve to say you are my friend

When I was down you just stood there grinnin'

You've gotta lotta nerve to say you have a helping hand to lend

You just want to be on the side that's winnin'

You see me on the street, you always act surprised

Ya say "how are you?", "good luck", but ya don't mean it

When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed

I know the reason you talked behind my back

I used to be among the crowd you're in with

But do you take me for such a fool, to think I'd make contact

With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with?

You say I've let you down - ya know its not like that

If you're so hurt, why then doncha show it?

You say you've lost your faith, but that's not where its at

Ya have no faith to lose - an' ya know it

No, I doe not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace

If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them

And tho I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place

Don't you understand, its not my problem?

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

And just for that one moment I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

You'd know what a drag it is to see you
