I remember the old daddy used to say He'd say, "Son, watch your 'cuz misery loves company" I never understood what it meant till this
She put you out no place to go, you call me up And I came right on over, you had a few problems You knew you were wrong, wanted to get yourself So, I let you at my home
I started peepin', you makin' eyes at my boo Goin' out your way to be all up in her Me and her would be in bed what we do Then I dunno where, she'd ask me things I told you
Misery loves company, I you were a friend to me But right is right and is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on own, step on, step on, step on Get to brotha, you're on your own, step on, step on, step on
My man, my man, my brother, my homey Step on, on, step on
A learned but told long ago, keep enemies close But friends closer, tell the truth, see Happiness breeds envy, ever say the words "It'll never, never, never, happen to me"
Oh 'cuz one day you'll close eyes And then to your surprise, you open and see been all up in your cherry tree Then that'll be the day, you'll lose your mind Just spending time writing letters in a cell doing 20 to
Misery loves company, I you were a friend to me But right is and wrong is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on your own, on, step on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, you're on your own, on, step on, step on
Get to movin' homey, get to goin', boy, you act You don't know me, get move on, oh no, no, no
It's a low down shame when your so-called friends playin' games, they know how to get to you All inside, all up in your business, start up your family too family took him in as one of them
And as time gone by they don't even care, no They moved on and here comes But they had the same, the opportunities as you do So you got to tell him, get to brother
you ain't nothing, you ain't no good You no good, you ain't no friend of mine Testify now, this evening, raise your hands this you was the one, you was my best friend
You was my friend, you was my brother, friend Homey thick and thin, misery, misery, misery Brother, a friend, my homey and thin, misery, misery, misery
