"Don't Take Everybody For Your Friend" lyrics

We were sitting at home this morning, me and my Lord
When somebody call me up on the telephone and cast your name abroad
But you just take it to the Lord 'cause he still gives out rewards
And don't (don't) take everybody for your friend (be your friend)

I said don't (don't) take everybody for your friend (be your friend)
Oh, no, don't (don't) take everybody for a friend (be your friend)
You just bear this in mind that a true friend is hard to find
And don't (don't) take everybody for your friend (be your friend)

Some will cause you to weep, some will cause you to moan (moan)
Some will gain your confidence, but when you really need 'em, they ain't home (home)
You just bear this in mind that a true friend is hard to find
And don't (don't) take everybody for your friend (be your friend)

I said don't (don't) take everybody for your friend (be your friend)
No, don't (don't), don't take everybody for a friend (be your friend)
You just bear this in mind that a true friend is hard to find
And don't (don't) take everybody for your friend (be your friend)
