Positively 4th Street Lyrics

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinningYou got a lotta nerve
To say you gotta helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winningYou say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show itYou say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know itI know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in withDo 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 withYou see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean itWhen you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream itNo, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob themAnd now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problemI wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be youYes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you
