I remember the old daddy used to say He'd say, "Son, watch your back misery loves company" I never what it meant till this happened
She put you out no place to go, you call me up And I came right on over, said you had a few You you were wrong, wanted to get yourself right So, I let you stay at my
When I peepin', you makin' eyes at my boo Goin' out your way to be all up in her Me and her would be in bed what we do I dunno where, she'd ask me things I only told you
Misery loves company, I thought you a friend to me But right is right and is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on your own, on, step on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, you're on own, step on, step on, step on
My man, my man, my brother, my homey Step on, step on, on
A lesson learned but told long ago, keep close But friends closer, tell the truth, see Happiness breeds envy, don't say the words "It'll never, never, never, happen to me"
Oh 'cuz one day you'll close your And to your surprise, you open them and see been all up in your cherry tree Then that'll be the day, that you'll lose your Just time writing letters in a cell doing 20 to life
Misery loves company, I you were a friend to me But is right and wrong is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on your own, step on, on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, you're on your own, step on, step on, on
Get to movin' homey, get to goin', boy, you act You don't me, get your move on, oh no, no, no
It's a low dirty shame when your so-called friends Start games, they know how to get to you All inside, all up in business, start breakin' up your family too Your took him in as one of them
And as time gone by they don't care, no respect moved on and here comes jealousy But had the same, the same opportunities as you do So you got to tell him, get to steppin'
'Cuz you ain't nothing, you no good You ain't no good, you no friend of mine Testify now, this evening, raise your this evening you was the one, you was my best friend
You was my friend, you was my brother, friend through thick and thin, misery, misery, misery Brother, a friend, my through Thick and thin, misery, misery,
