Lucinda Williams - Positively 4th Street lyrics
[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 grinning
You got a lot of nerve to say
You got a helping hand to lend
You just wanna 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
Now I know you're dissatisfied with
Your position and your place
Don't you understand that'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 you
Say you are my friend when I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lot of nerve to say
You got a helping hand to lend
You just wanna 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
Now I know you're dissatisfied with
Your position and your place
Don't you understand that'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 you
