The Color Green

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?
