[Intro]
1, 2, 3

[Verse 1: Sam Moore]
Talking 'bout them times when I was by myself
I was looking for somebody else
As time went on, I had a talk with my mind
Friends like you and you I gotta leave behind

[Chorus]
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 ya)
I'm just glad I know the truth
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you

[Verse 2: Sam Moore + Van Hunt + (Nikka Costa)]
Friends and enemies around me every day
(I can't believe half the things they say)
Taking me for granted giving no credit at all
(I'll just keep on bouncing like a bouncing 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
Listening to my friends talk about it all

[Chorus]
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 ya)
I'm just glad I know the truth
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you

[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I had no loot
No, no, no, no
Oh, if I had no loot

[Chorus]
You call me your friend
But you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
(Ain't that some soul, y'all?)
I'm just glad I know the truth
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you
(I ain't gonna depend on you)

You call me your friend
But you only want my ends
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
(Never had no loot)
I'm just glad I know the truth
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you

[Bridge]
I don't get no respect for this, huh?
That's the only reason she wanted me from the get go
She wouldn't even talk to me, hahaha

[Chorus]
You call me your friend
But you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
I'm just glad I know the truth
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you

You call me your friend
But you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
I'm just glad I know the truth
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you
(She won't even take chump change)

You call me your friend
But you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you if I had no loot
I'm just glad I know the truth
And I'm paying my own bills
And I'll never ever depend on you

You call me your friend
But you only want my gifts
And I'll never see you if I had no loot

[Outro]
Van told ya, Nikka told ya, now I done told ya
