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 ain't the same
When your so-called friends, they've lost their way
And they ain't 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 through your thin disguise
Lord only knows and 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 ain't the same
When your so-called friends they've lost their way

And they ain't 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?
