Lyrics Carole King

Carole King

Haywood

Haywood, where have you been, tell me now?

Haywood, you've been on the street again, I know, I know

Haywood, that man's not your friend, haven't you had enough of the stuff

Oh, you know it's got to do you in

Remember John, John, how mama stayed awake all night

All night, the night they brought him in

She cried and said she always knew that he was up to no good

It broke her heart the night he died

And she made me promise

I'd stand by your side

And try to protect you from the

Evil in the neighborhood

Haywood, where have you been, tell me now?

Haywood, you've been on the street again, I know, I know

Haywood, hangin' out with your so-called friends

What makes you think that you'll be the one to put it down

Use your ears, use your eyes

Just look around

Everyone's dying

Everyone's going down

Just think of Vallorie, she's always been

So good to you and you, you, you've never let her down

What about the life you planned

Well it can still come true, it's all up to you

I know it's hard to shake it

But you gotta be a man and take it

I know that this is no way to make it

It's not too late, it's not too late for you, listen to me, Haywood
