 You  got a lotta  nerve to say  you are my friend
 When  I was  down you  just stood  there grinning
 You  got a lotta  nerve to say  you got a helping hand
 You  just want  to be on  the side that's  winning
 riff....
 You say I let you down you know it's not like that
 If you're so hurt why then don't you show it
 You say you lost your faith but that's not where it's at
 You had no faith to lose and you know it
 I know the reason that you talk behind my back
 I used to be among the crowd you're in with
 Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact
 With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with
 riff.....
 You see me on the street you always act surprised
 You say, "How are you?" "Good luck" but you don't mean it
 When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed
 Why don't you just come out once and scream it
 riff....
 No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
 If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
 And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
 Don't you understand it's not my problem
 I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
 And just for that one moment I could be you
 Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
 You'd know what a drag it is to see you
