Where Are All My Friends - Harold Melvin

Used to have lots of fancy clothes

And drive a big white Cadillac

Not knowing all the time I had these things

My friends were stabbing my straight in my back

No, no, no

Even had a house then out there in Beverly Hills

I was moving so fast, y’all

I didn’t even have time to worry about paying my bills

Something started changing

My life started rearranging

Now I’m all alone

All the friends I wanted

I-I don’t have anymore

So somebody tell, tell me

(Where are all my friends)

I can’t find nobody

(Where are all my friends)

Oh Lord, oh Lord

Used to take my friends out everywhere I went

But I used to tell them, y’all

Y’all ain’t gotta spend a red cent

'Cause I used to have lots of money

I had them in big old stacks

I used to lend them my clothes

But they never, never ever, never, never brought them back

Now I don’t have nothing

I’m so all alone

Don’t even have a home

I ain’t got no place to lay my head

Wish someone would help me

'Cause I-I-I-I-I…I need a loan

Yeah, baby

(Where are all my friends)

I’m looking, y’all.

I’m looking all over

(Where are all my friends)

I’m looking for the friends I used to call my very own

(Where are all my friends)

I need somebody right now.

Hey!

(Where are all my friends)

I can’t find a father or a mother

(Where are all my friends)

I remember the time I used to be walking up and down the streets

And I remember you and you and you and you and you

I remember when you used to say that, yeah

Trying to get me to spare a dime

And I used to come out the bottom of my heart

'Cause I thought you were a friend of mine.

Huh

But it seems, yeah

It seems that you didn’t even give a damn about me, no

But now I’m down and out and I need a friend

I surely need a friend
