Gerald Levert - Misery Lyrics
[intro]I remember the old saying daddy used to sayHed say son, watch your back cuz misery loves companyI never understood what it meanttill this happenedShe put you out with no place to goYou call me up, and I came right on overSaid you had a few problemsYou knew you were wrongWanted to get yourself rightSo I let you stay at my homeWhen I started peepin you makin eyes at my booGoin out your way to be all up in her faceMe and her would be in bed doin what we doThen I dunno where, shed ask me things I only told youMisery loves companyI thought you were a friend to meBut right is rightAnd wrong is wrongSo pack your bagsBrother, you on your own(step on step on step on)Get to steppin brothaYoure on your own(step on step on step on)My man, my man, my brother, my homey yeah(step on step on step on)A lesson learned, but told long agoKeep enemies close, but friends even closer(tell the truth)See happiness breeds envyDont ever say the wordsItll never, never, never, never happen to meOh cuzOne day youll close your eyesAnd then to your surpriseYou open them and seeSomebody been all up in your cherry treeThen thatll be the dayThat youll lose your mindJust spending time writing lettersIn a cell doing 20 to lifeRepeat 1Get to movin homeyGet to goin, boyYou act like you dont know meGet your move onOh no, no, noIts a low down dirty shameWhen your so-called friends start playin gamesThey know how to get to youAll inside, all up in your businessStart breakin up your family tooYour family took him in as one of themAnd as time gone by they dont even careNo respect, they moved onAnd here comes jealousyBut they had the same, the same opportunities as you doSo you got to tell him, get to steppin brotherCuz you aint nothing, you aint no goodYou aint no good, you aint no friend of mineTestify now, this eveningRaise your hands this eveningSaid you was the one, you was my best friendYou was my best friendYou was myBrother, friend, homey through thick and thinMisery, misery, miseryBrother, a friend, my homey through thick and thinMisery, misery, misery
