Positively 4th street - 1998 - remaster

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

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

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

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 youPositively 4th Street
