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 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?
