Why You Don’t Have Any Friends
I’m never too afraid to deal
With sensitive issues
For many this one’s close to home
And brings about the blues
“Why don’t I have any friends?”
A lot of people ask
Rather than just pussyfoot
I’ll take them right to task
The reason that you do not have
A group of folks to call
Is ‘cause they find it difficult
To get past your high wall
True, a lot of folks are just
Too busy to put in
The time and work required to
Make friendship more than thin
I’m not talking about those folks
Who are not your true friends
I’m speaking of the kind of person
Who comes out, attends
Who keeps their schedule open
To come to your event
Who knows what simply coming out
And just being there meant
Of the people who would go
To ends of Earth for you
Many of them just give up
Because they can’t get through
They can’t deal with your pickiness
Or always being grilled
“Why did you do or say that?”
Eventually trust’s killed
You don’t have any friends because
You don’t give benefit
Of the doubt and ‘cause you don’t
Have patience to permit
Anyone from doing things
That cause you to ask “Why?”
Accusing or tearing down is
No act for an ally
But most of all you have no friends
Because no one can reach
All the expectations that you
Minister and preach
Maybe if you’d let it go
And let people be them
Instead of using things they do
That you don’t to condemn
You would have a few more friends
That you could rely on
‘Cause letting people be themselves
Is what trust’s built upon
