I Don't Like Half the Folks I Love Songtext

von Paul Thorn

My family reunion is going on today.
My relatives have all flow in
From places far away.
As we sit here eatin' chicken
It hits me like a truck.
I don't like half the folks I love.

My and my former best friend
Had a big fallin' out.
I caught him with my wife
So I punched him in the mouth.
We just can't hang out anymore
But I still wish them luck.
I don't like half the folks I love.

God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.

My alcoholic buddies are fun to hang around
When we drink together, peace and joy are bound
But sometimes they bring me one more shot
When they know I've had enough
I don't like half the folks I love.

God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.

In this world we live in
This I guarantee
We all need more tolerance
To get along peacefully.
But I'm not as nice as Jesus,
And I really am fed up.
I don't like half the folks I love.

God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
I don't like half the folks I love.
