Lyrics

AIN'T YOUR FRIEND

MIGHT BE 12, MIGHT BE 11.
SOMETIMES, ONLY 10.
WHEN A BOY WAKE UP ONE MORNING,
AND MEETS HIS NEW BEST FRIEND.
LEAD YOU LIKE A PUPPY DOG
TIL THE DAY YOU DIE
AND EVERY MESS YOU WIND UP IN,
YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY.

PUTS THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND WHAT SHOULDN'T EXIST
PUTS WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH LIKE A VENTRILOQUIST

IT MIGHT BE PART OF YOUR BODY,
BUT IT SURE 'NUF AIN'T YOUR FRIEND.
ALL THE PAIN IT CAUSE YOU,
ALL THE DOUGH THAT YOU SPEND.
YOU MIGHT THINK IT LOVES YOU,
BUT IT'S ONLY MAKE PRETEND.
IT MIGHT BE PART OF YOUR BODY,
BUT IT SURE 'NUF AIN'T YOUR FRIEND.

YOU MIGHT BE A FIREMAN
YOU MIGHT BE A JUDGE
IT GET YOU CHASIN' BOOTY
WHEN YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN'T BUDGE.
BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL
BLAME IT ON THE SMOKE
BUT WHO YOU BLAME WHEN THE DOORBELL RING
WITH A VISIT FROM THE STORK.

ADVICE DON'T MATTER IF YOU CAN'T HEAR
SO DON'T TRUST NO HEAD THAT GOT NO EARS


IT MIGHT BE PART OF YOUR BODY,
BUT IT SURE 'NUF AIN'T YOUR FRIEND.
ALL THE PAIN IT CAUSE YOU,
ALL THE DOUGH THAT YOU SPEND.
YOU MIGHT THINK IT LOVES YOU,
BUT IT'S ONLY MAKE PRETEND.
IT MIGHT BE PART OF YOUR BODY,
BUT IT SURE 'NUF AIN'T YOUR FRIEND.

YOU CAN TRUST MOST PARTS OF YOUR BODY
THAT'S A NATCH'L FACT.
BUT LIMB NUMBER FIVE CAN TALK MORE JIVE
THAN A CONGRESSMAN ON CRACK.

IT JUMP AND SHOUT "LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!"
AND LEAVE YOU CRYIN' "WHAT HAVE I DONE?"

IT MIGHT BE PART OF YOUR BODY,
BUT IT SURE 'NUF AIN'T YOUR FRIEND.
ALL THE PAIN IT CAUSE YOU,
ALL THE DOUGH THAT YOU SPEND.
YOU MIGHT THINK IT LOVES YOU,
BUT IT'S ONLY MAKE PRETEND.
IT MIGHT BE PART OF YOUR BODY,
BUT IT SURE 'NUF AIN'T YOUR FRIEND.

YEAH, IT MIGHT BE PART OF YOUR BODY,
BUT IT SURE 'NUF AIN'T YOUR FRIEND.
