I remember the old daddy used to say say, "Son, watch your back 'cuz misery loves company" I never understood what it meant this happened
She put you out with no place to go, you me up And I came on over, said you had a few problems You you were wrong, wanted to get yourself right So, I let you at my home
When I started peepin', you eyes at my boo out your way to be all up in her face Me and her would be in bed what we do Then I where, she'd ask me things I only told you
Misery company, I thought you were a friend to me But right is and wrong is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on your own, step on, on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, you're on your own, on, step on, step on
My man, my man, my brother, my yeah Step on, step on, on
A lesson learned but told long ago, enemies close But friends even closer, the truth, see breeds envy, don't ever say the words "It'll never, never, never, happen to me"
Oh 'cuz one day close your eyes And to your surprise, you open them and see Somebody been all up in cherry tree Then that'll be the day, that lose your mind Just spending time writing letters in a doing 20 to life
Misery loves company, I you were a friend to me But right is right and is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on your own, on, step on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, on your own, step on, step on, step on
Get to movin' homey, get to goin', boy, you act You don't know me, get your on, oh no, no, no
a low down dirty shame when your so-called friends Start playin' games, they how to get to you All inside, all up in your business, start up your family too Your family took him in as one of
And as time gone by don't even care, no respect They on and here comes jealousy But had the same, the same opportunities as you do So you got to tell him, get to steppin'
'Cuz you ain't nothing, you ain't no You ain't no good, you no friend of mine Testify now, this evening, raise your hands this Said you was the one, you was my friend
You was my best friend, you was my brother, Homey through thick and thin, misery, misery, Brother, a friend, my through and thin, misery, misery, misery
