i';ll give a friend my last dime
i'd leave a job to do a favor any old time
but i won't share my baby
she's not part of a good deed
share what you got 
but keep what you need

if you can't pay your rent
Come on home with me
i'm your friend

I need my baby
can't let her go
friend don't aske for her
i'd just have to tell you no

that's why
share what you got
keep what you need
