Keep An Eye

(album: Nitty Gritty - 1969)

Keep an eye
Keep an eye, on your close friends
Listen to me
Keep an eye
Keep an eye, on your close friends

Hey hey
'Cause what you got they'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes (step in your shoes)
I said, they'll turn around and step in your shoes (step in your shoes)
And then you'll say I'm so sorry for what I have to do
But I love you, as much as you
Hey hey, I love you, as much as you

Keep an eye (keep an eye)
Keep an eye (keep an eye), on your close friends
Ohh!
Keep an eye (keep an eye)
Keep an eye (keep an eye), on your close friends

You know the devil's workshop is busy place
On top of evil there's an innocent face (innocent face)
On top of evil there's an innocent face (innocent face)
There used to be three of us seen all over town
Now there's two
Someone's missing hey hey guess who?
Someone's missing
You know that she planted seeds of mistrust here and there
'Causing us to fight unaware
Her comforting way, when I would cry
Shadowed the look of triumph in her eye
You know she got the snake on a limb of a tree
A friend is an enemy that you can't see
Ohh, you better believe me
(Ohh oh)
Mmm hmmm mmm

'Cause what you got, they'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes (step in your shoes)

Ohh oh
Keep an eye (keep an eye)
Keep an eye (keep an eye), on your close friends
[?] witness that your friends will decieve you and they'll mislead you
Turn you back too long and your man will be gone
Keep an eye (keep an eye)
Keep an eye (keep an eye), on your close friends

Ohh!
Don't trust nobody, nobody, nobody
