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
