Misery Loves Company

I remember the old saying Daddy used to say He'd say, "Son, watch your back 'Cause misery loves company" I never understood what it meant Till this happened She put you out with no place to go You call me up and I came right on over Said you had a few problems You knew you were wrong Wanted to get yourself right So I let you stay at my home When I started peepin' you makin' eyes at my boo Goin' out your way to be all up in her face Me and her would be in bed doin' what we do Then I dunno where, she'd ask me things I only told you Misery loves company I thought you were a friend to me But right is right and wrong is wrong So pack your bags, brother, you on your own Step on, step on, step on, step on You're on your own Step on, step on, step on, step on A lesson learned but told long ago Keep enemies close but friends even closer See happiness breeds envy Don't ever say the words It'll never, never, never, never happen to me †Cause one day you'll close your eyes And then to your surprise You open them and see Somebody been all up in your cherry tree Then that'll be the day That you'll lose your mind Spendin' time writin' letters In a cell, doin' 20 to life Misery loves company I thought you were a friend to me But right is right and wrong is wrong So pack your bags, my brother, you on your own Step on, step on, step on, step on You're on your own Step on, step on, step on, step on It's a low down dirty shame When your so-called friends start playin' games They know how to get to you All inside, all up in your business Start breakin' up your family too Your family took him in as one of them And as time gone by, they don't even care No respect, they moved on and here comes jealousy But they had the same, the same opportunities as you do So you got to tell him get to steppin', brother 'Cause you ain't nothin', you ain't no good You ain't no good, you ain't no friend of mine Testify now, this evenin' Raise your hands this evenin' Said, you was the one, you was my best friend You was my best friend You was my brother, you're my friend You were my homey through thick and thin Now you're just misery, now you're just misery Now you're just misery, ain't no good for me You once was my brother, a friend My homey through thick and thin Misery, misery, misery
