Making Friends

Well, you know, I gave my baby a hundred dollars
To go downtown and pay a debt she owed
You know, the girl bought a tin man a suit of clothes
Say, I was only making friends
Yes, you know, I was only making friends
Well, you know, if it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna catch the girl doing wrong again
Well, you know, she leaves home in the morning
She won't come back until night
She won't cook me no food, she still says she treats me right
Says, you know, but, I got to, got to make some friends
Well, you know, I got to make some friends
Well, you know, if it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna catch the girl doing wrong again
Let's make some friends
Well, you know, I work for you, baby
All day and night
Trying so hard to get you to treat me right
You say, you know, my dear, I've been making friends
Well, you know, I've been making friends
Well, you know, if it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna catch you doing wrong again
