Don't Take Everybody to Be Your Friend (Friends and Neighbors) - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

While siting at home

Talking to the Lord

Some old hypocrite

Has cast your name abroad

But you take it to the Lord

He will give you a reward

Please don’t take evrybody to be your friend

I said don’t, don’t take everybody for your friend

Oooh don’t, don’t take everybody to be your friend

You just bear this in mind

A true friend is hard to find

Please don’t take everybody to be your friend

Some will cause you to weep

Some will cause you to moan

Some will gain your confidence

And cause you to lose your home

You just bear this in mind

A true friend is hard to find

Please, don’t take everybody to be your friend

I said don’t don’t take everybody for your friend

Oooh don’t don’t take everybody to be your friend

You just bear this in mind

Good friend is hard to find

Please don’t take everybody to be your friend
