lyrics

I gave you so much money when you said you were in need
You came to me all puppy eyed and desperate
I watched you spend it chasing women, buying them champagne
While I’m fighting the breadline, can’t afford to eat

Where are all my friends when I need them
Where are all these people I hold dear?
Make me, don’t break me again

I gave you a bed when you had no place to stay
You came to me all puppy eyed and desperate
Now you have a house on the other side of town
I’m outside, it’s cold and you won’t let me in

Where are all my friends when I need them
Where are all these people I hold dear?
Make me, don’t break me again

I gave you everything I could
When I had nothing, my friend
And now that the table has turned
You give me
You give me
You give me nothing at all
