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
