Not I

other people might ignore you when you're wearing a frown
when your spirits are down
they don't care

other people might just use you if you serve their own ends
but when you need them as friends
they're not there

if life is taxing your endurance
and you want friendly reassurance
I'll be your stalwart and companion down the line

if there are problems that concern you,
you know it's me that you can turn to
any concern of yours I feel, and I make it mine

other people might desert you, let you give up the ghost,
when you need them the most
they might fly

but not I,
no, not I,
not I

when you feel the knocks of life come hard as they can be
when you're in adversity – I beg you – turn to me

if there are problems that concern you, you know it's me that you can turn to
any concern of yours I feel, and I make it mine

other people might wear masks professing they understand
yet, when you need a hand,
pass you by

but
not I

no
not I

not I
