Curtis Mayfield - Eddie You Should Know Better (instrumental version) lyrics

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
