I Had Friends
I had friends when the address was 902
I had friends when it wasn't rent that was due
I had friends when the parties rocked my place
I had friends when roaches was west that way
I had friends when health was a hundred percent
I had friends paying mortgage and not low rent
I had friends when I juggled eight red balls
I had friends who chirpped I would never fall
I had friends laughing hearty and singing with me
I had friends way up in this society
I had friends calling me on everyday
I had friends calling me with nothing to say
Loneliness but the pigeons and whew they stink
Water in my eyes and acid round' the sink
Friends not calling; no fancy social fares
Ooh..Ooh…I can't wait to get out of here
I had friends…
