I had a friend one time at least I thought he was my friend

For he came to me said I ain't got no place to go

I said take it easy man you can come home to my house

I'll get you a pillow where you can rest your head

Took him home with me let him in my house

Let him drive my cadillac that I could not afford

When I found out he'd been messin' around with my baby

You know I'm mad like al capone
