Grateful Dead - Positively 4th Street lyrics

When I was down you just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend

You just want to be on the side that's winning

You say I let you down you know it's not like that

If you're so hurt why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith but that's not where it's at

You had no faith to lose and you know it

I know the reason that you talk behind my back

I used to be among the crowd you're in with

Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact

With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street you always act surprised

You say, "How are you?" "Good luck" but you don't mean it

When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed

Why don't you just come out once and scream it

No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace

If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place

Don't you understand it's not my problem

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

And just for that one moment I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes

You'd know what a drag it is to see you
