Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay

If the shoe fits
I want you to wear it
And wear it good

Talkin' 'bout them times when I was by myself
I would always be lookin' for somebody else
But, as time went on, I had a talk with my mind
Friends like you and you, I gotta leave behind

Chorus:
And so, you call me your friend
But, you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you
If I had no loot
I'll never see them
I'm just glad I know the truth
And I'm payin' my own bills
And I'll never, ever depend on you

Friends and enemies around me everyday
I can't believe half the things they say
Takin' me for granted, givin' no credit at all
I'll just keep bouncin' like a bouncin' ball
Everybody seems to disappear on me
Can't trust no one as far as I can see
If I could be that fly that's on the wall
Listenin' to my friends talk about it all

Chorus

Some soul you are

I don't mean to step on nobody's foot, but, uh

When I need somebody there's nobody to call
When they need me, my phone rings off the wall
But, these are my friends and that so what they say
Constantly takin' from me everyday, you say

Chorus

Some soul you are

Da-da-dah-da-da-dee
Da-da-dah-da-da-dee
Da-da-dah-da-da-dee-ee-ee-ee
I don't want to step on nobody's foot, but, uh
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay
Da-da-da-day, da-da-da-da-day-ay

Chorus x 2

I'm startin to believe what it feels like
