Lucinda Williams - Positively 4th Street Lyrics

You got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend

When I was down you just stood there grinnin'

You got a lot of nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend

You just wanna be on the side that's winnin'



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 theif perhaps I'd rob them

Now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place

Can't you understand that's not my problem



Well 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 know what a drag it is to see you
