Don't Take Everybody To Be Your Friend

Don't Take Everybody To Be Your Friend - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

While sitting 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

For 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

But you bear this in mind

That a true friend is hard to find

Please don't take everybody

To be your friend

I said don't

Don't take everybody

To be your friend

Oooh don't

Don't take everybody ooo to be your friend

You just bear this in mind

That a true friend is hard to find

Please don't take everybody

To be your friend
