where are all my friends

Lyrics

where are all my friends, oh lord, oh lord, used to have lots of fancy clothes, and drive a big white cadillac, not knowing all the time i had these things, my friends were stabbing my straight in my back, no, no, no, even had a house then out there in beverly hills, i was moving so fast, y'all, i didn't even have time to worry about paying my bills, something started changing, my life started rearranging, now i'm all alone, all the friends i wanted, i-i don't have anymore, so somebody tell, tell me, i can't find nobody, oh lord, oh lord, used to take my friends out everywhere i went, but i used to tell them, y'all, y'all ain't gotta spend a red cent, 'cause i used to have lots of money, i had them in big old stacks, i used to lend them my clothes, but they never, never ever, never, never brought them back, now i don't have nothing, i'm so all alone, don't even have a home, i ain't got no place to lay my head, wish someone would help me, 'cause i-i-i-i-i.i need a loan, yeah, baby, i'm looking, y'all. i'm looking all over, i'm looking for the friends i used to call my very own, i need somebody right now. hey!, i can't find a father or a mother, i remember the time i used to be walking up and down the streets, and i remember you and you and you and you and you, i remember when you used to say that, yeah, trying to get me to spare a dime, and i used to come out the bottom of my heart, 'cause i thought you were a friend of mine. huh, but it seems, yeah, it seems that you didn't even give a damn about me, no, but now i'm down and out and i need a friend, i surely need a friend
