1. FAKE FRIENDS

When you were down they were never there
When you're all alone you really get to learn
If you get back up they gonna come around
All the sycophants they love to make romance
To the ugly sound of 'em tellin' you what you
Wanna hear an' you pretend.

'cause they all agree you're supposed to have a better life
But you're feelin' worse
An' they build you up till you fool yourself that you're
Something else an' it's like a curse cause
You can't live up to what they made of you
An' they tell you that you're losin' friends.

Losin' friends, losin' friends
Ya got nothin to lose
Ya don't lose when you lose fake friends.

Ya go an tell 'em you were king of the hill
When ya need a hand - that was yesterday
Ya see 'em laugh while you're on your knees
An' it breaks your heart 'cause ya gave so much
An' ya can't believe that ya hit the gound an'
Ya notice ya been losin' friends.

Losin' friends, losin' friends
Ya got nothin to lose
Ya don't lose when you lose fake friends.


2. CONEY ISLAND WHITEFISH

I warned you all the time to get yourself
In line, you never did it
I took you everywhere no one else could
Bear all your bullshit
Your headtrips were a bore I shoulda
Dumped ya long before, you're a dim wit.

When I took you out ya ugly, dirty mouth
Was like a sewer
All ya did was moan, so I left ya on your own
I said screw ya,
I put it to ya
Now you're coming back tryin' to
Get into the act ya fool ya
Ya think I'm stupid.

Scumbag, scumbag ya don't leave well enough alone
Baby, you're a scumbag you're rotten to the core
You're the biggest fool that I ever known.

Everytime it seemed we had everything
We dreamed for the choosin'
You never had enough the way you
Made life rough sent me cruzin'
I gave a disposition 'bout your rotten
Disposition you're a loser and you're losin' ha ha.

Scumbag, scumbag ya don't leave well enough alone
Baby, you're a scumbag you're rotten to the core
You're the biggest fool that I ever known

Yeah, uh huh, you are, yea uh huh.

3. NINETIME

You grew up on Sutton Place
I was from Times Square
Nothing mattered when we met
It was our own affair
But there were things that made it rough
And though we meant no harm
It really pissed your family off
To see us arm in arm
Nitetime, what will I do without you
Nitetime, they won't let me go out with you
They won't let me go out with you
They won't let me go out with you
I used to watch ya hanging round
With such great concern
You always loved to act up town
But I could never learn
And now we've gone our separate ways
I've never been the same
I think of you on rainy days
Then I call your name
Nitetime what will I do without you
Nitetime they won't let me go out with you
They won't let me go out with you
They won't let me go out with you
I used to feel all alone in a crowd of friends
Where pretense never ends
How do you all pretend
Let me go
I'd love to see your flashin' eyes
Lookin' over me
No one's here to sympathize
That's society
Nitetime what will I do without you
Nitetime they won't let me go out with you.

They won't let me go out with you
They won't let me go out with you
They won't let me go out with you
They won't let me go out with you
Stop stop.

Let me go out with you
Stop stop
Let me go out with you
Stop stop
Let me go out with you
Stop stop
Stop stop
Stop stop
Let me go
Stop stop
Stop stop
Let me go
Stop stop
Stop stop
Let me go

I don't like what I'm seeing
In the world today
Money talks people listen
Cuz everyone's on the make
I'm sick and tired of hearing
You gotta compromise
You'd better do some business
If you wanna survive
Oh oh oh oh oh
I hear the same thing everyday.

Oh oh oh oh oh
If you want to get somewhere you gotta pay the fare
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you.

Oh oh oh oh oh
You got the answer right here in your hands.

Oh oh oh oh oh
If you want to get somewhere you got to touch me there
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Yeah ow.

Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Ow yeah.

When I'm with you at night
And we're safe in my room
I let your love surround me
And the words have a different tune
Ow.

Oh oh oh oh oh
You got the answer right here in your hands
Oh oh oh oh oh.

If you want to get somewhere you got to touch me there
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Ow yeah.

Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
No oh c'mon acapo.
