friends turn you against me
You let your friends turn you against me,
And now that I'm gone, woman
Can you see what they are
Oh, some people don't want you happy
But they won't come right out and say
Oh, a lot of people don't
want you happy, little girl
But they won't come right
Yeah, they just lie a little
Just to keep you thinking that way
Oh, now that you've lost me, baby
Do they pay your bills when due?
do they pay your bills when due?
Or do you have to get out, baby,
and do all the things I used to
when you're sleepy just look up
Oh, in the midnight hour, baby
One that's sleepy just won't come
Do you ever think about me, woman?
Do you ever wish for my arms?
