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

While siting 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 to be 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 

You just bear this in mind 

A true friend is hard to find 

Please, don't take everybody 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 

Good friend is hard to find 

Please don't take everybody to be your friend
