positively 4th street

you got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend

when i was down you just stood there grinning. you got a lotta nerve to say you gotta helping hand to lend

you just want to be on the side that's winning. you say i let you down

you know it's not like that

if you're so hurt

why then don't you show it?

you say you lost your faith but that's not where it's at

you had no faith to lose and you know it. i know the reason that you talk behind my back

i used to be among the crowd you're in with. do you take me for such a fool to think i'd make contact?

with the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with?

you see me on the street

you always act surprised

you say: 'how are you? good luck' - but you don't mean it. when you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed

why don't you just come out once and scream it?

no

i do not feel that good when i see the heartbreaks you embrace

if i was a master thief

perhaps i'd rob them. and now i know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place

don't you understand it's not my problem?

i wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

and just for that one moment i could be you. yes

i wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

you'd know what a drag it is to see you.
