Five Fingers Left

(album: Love Is The Foundation - 1973)

Once upon a time I had a real good friend at least that's what I thought
But it wasn't long till my good friend and the man I love got caught

So who in the world is a fooling who let's not kid ourself
We can count our friends on one hand and have five fingers left

Friends are few and far between believe me I should know
And a real good way of finding out is let no money show

So who in the world is a fooling who let's not kid ourself
We can count our friends on one hand and have five fingers left

When you're down and out and you need a friend you'll find they're hard to find
And when you do don't turn your back cause you're friend will rob you blind

So who in the world is a fooling who let's not kid ourself
We can count our friends on one hand and have five fingers left

We all know what our enemies will do it's our friends we've got to watch
Keep your eyes wide open and your big mouth shut and you'll find out a lot

So who in the world is a fooling who let's not kid ourself
We can count our friends on one hand and have five fingers left

So who in the world is a fooling who let's not kid ourself
We can count our friends on one hand and have five fingers left
