Friends

Well they say money opens doors
 And money, money will make you friends
 I said, money will open doors, and bring fairweather friends
 I think even the devil leaves you alone, when there's nothing
 Nothing, nothing to spend
 I got up early every morning and
 I worked each and every day... each and every day
 I got up early every morning, worked for my hard earned pay
 Then those friends took what they could get
 And they, and they quietly, they slipped away
 Well, I've always been a trusting soul
 My mama would tell you that
 But I let too many parasites near me
 And they took everything and turned their back
 I wish I could say it wasn't so
 But those jerks just wanted me for my cash flow
 I wanna tell you now I learned something new, but I can't say it's true
 Wanna say that I'm smarter now, but I can't lie, can't lie to you
 No no, can't lie
 I still can't recognize a phony smile
 And I still ain't got a clue bout these friends that I thought I knew
 That I thought I knew
