Where Are All My FriendsWhere are all my friendsOh Lord, oh Lord Used to have lots of fancy clothes And drive a big white Cadillac Not knowing all the time I had these things My friends were stabbing my straight in my back No, no, no Even had a house then out there in Beverly Hills I was moving so fast, y'all I didn't even have time to worry about paying my bills Something started changing My life started rearranging Now I'm all alone All the friends I wanted I-I don't have anymore So somebody tell, tell me (Where are all my friends) I can't find nobody (Where are all my friends) Oh Lord, oh Lord Used to take my friends out everywhere I went But I used to tell them, y'all Y'all ain't gotta spend a red cent 'Cause I used to have lots of money I had them in big old stacks I used to lend them my clothes But they never, never ever, never, never brought them back Now I don't have nothing I'm so all alone Don't even have a home I ain't got no place to lay my head Wish someone would help me 'Cause I-I-I-I-I...I need a loan Yeah, baby (Where are all my friends) I'm looking, y'all. I'm looking all over (Where are all my friends) I'm looking for the friends I used to call my very own (Where are all my friends) I need somebody right now. Hey! (Where are all my friends) I can't find a father or a mother (Where are all my friends) I remember the time I used to be walking up and down the streets And I remember you and you and you and you and you I remember when you used to say that, yeah Trying to get me to spare a dime And I used to come out the bottom of my heart 'Cause I thought you were a friend of mine. Huh But it seems, yeah It seems that you didn't even give a damn about me, no But now I'm down and out and I need a friend I surely need a friend |
