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 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 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 thats turned on you

Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?
