I never asked you for a nickel, I never asked you for a dime [2 xs]
I never did you no harm
I never wasted your sweet time

I thought we had an understanding true friendship and love [2 xs]
But tell me where were you
When a push came to a shove?

Now, you go your own way, I've got nothing here to lose [2 xs]
Just tell me one thing baby,
With friends like you, who needs the blues?
