Your Picture

My friend she told me such a story but she didn't know what I knew I laughed with my friend when she got to the end I knew we were laughing at you She told me that you made some money and you got yourself frames on the wall People come by and they look at your face And they say it's the fairest of all Of course you protest That's what you do best You're modest and shy to the end You're watching them as they're looking at you And you know it was money well spent She told me you'd given up drinking to be with somebody you knew And you tried to get into the bible But it never got into you You've still got some loyal disciples I suppose that I'm one of the few I shouldn't have laughed Cause I mean you no harm But my friend got to me before you And next time I see you I'll be pleased to see you I hope you'll be pleased to see me I'll visit your picture I won't have the nerve To tell them that they've got you all wrong
