Don't Take Everybody To Be Your Friend

While sitting at home

Talking to the Lord

Some old hypocrite

Has carried your name abroad

But you take it to the Lord

He will give you a reward

Please don't take everybody to be your friend

I said don't, don't take everybody for your friend

Oh, don't, don't take everybody to be your friend

You just bear this in mind

That a true friend is hard to find

Please don't take everybody for your friend

Some will cause you to weep

Some will cause you to moan

Some will gain your confidence

And cause you to lose your home

But you bear this in mind

That a true friend is hard to find

Please don't take everybody to be your friend

I said don't, don't take everybody to be your friend

Oh, don't, don't take everybody, ooh, to be your friend

You just bear this in mind

That a true friend is hard to find

Please don't take everybody to be your friend
