Eddie, you should know better

Brother, you know you're wrong


Think of the tears and fears

You bring to your folks back home

They'd say, "Where did he go wrong, 

My Lord?"


We planned and worked hard 

From the very start

Tried to make him better 

Than all the rest

But the brother proved to be

So much less


Eddie is everybody's friend

But sometimes we wonder now and then


The only time he'll choose you

When theres's something to lose through

His personal loss

And the friend pays the cost

All the time


Must be something' that's freezin' his mind

That has made him, through greed, so very blind

And I don't think he's gonna make it this time
