I remember the old daddy used to say He'd say, "Son, watch back 'cuz misery loves company" I never understood what it meant till this
She put you out no place to go, you call me up And I came on over, said you had a few problems You knew you were wrong, wanted to get yourself So, I let you at my home
When I started peepin', you eyes at my boo Goin' out your way to be all up in her Me and her be in bed doin' what we do Then I dunno where, she'd ask me I only told you
Misery company, I thought you were a friend to me But right is right and is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on own, step on, step on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, on your own, step on, step on, step on
My man, my man, my brother, my yeah on, step on, step on
A lesson learned but told long ago, keep close But even closer, tell the truth, see Happiness breeds envy, don't say the words "It'll never, never, never, never to me"
Oh one day you'll close your eyes And then to your surprise, you open and see been all up in your cherry tree Then that'll be the day, that you'll lose your Just spending time letters in a cell doing 20 to life
loves company, I thought you were a friend to me But is right and wrong is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on own, step on, step on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, you're on your own, step on, step on, on
Get to homey, get to goin', boy, you act like You don't know me, get 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 your business, start breakin' up your too family took him in as one of them
And as gone by they don't even care, no respect They 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 hands this evening you was the one, you was my best friend
You was my best friend, you was my brother, Homey thick and thin, misery, misery, misery Brother, a friend, my through and thin, misery, misery, misery
