Never A Lender Or Borrower Be They say the livin' is easy in the summertime It's not at all Neither is it easy in spring, winter, or fall If the sunshine could come through all our stormy weather Then certainly a cloud lined with silver would be much better They say April showerw will bring flowers in May Won't they drown if it rains every day? I know I sound bitter, but hey! I'm drowning a little bit each day My mama always told me Never a lender or borrower be No matter what the problem Especially when it's money A cup of sugar is just fine It only cost a dime But I have been trying to get money back For a long, long time I loaned it for a short time It's been almost a year And my mailbox is flooded with dunns 'Cause there's no money here I know I was a fool But thought it would work It seems I was dead wrong And know I was a jerk I hope things will change For everyone involved Cause the money I loaned out Needs to be revolved Somehow I have to pay my debts And get off the hook I swear I'll never lend again On that you can make book And I will always remember Never a lender or borrower be And swear this will never happen again At least not to me |
