I saw pity in the face of a friend
And that's something I don't want to see again
With sad eyes he gave sympathy
'Cause he knew, yes he did
That you've been cheatin' on me

I saw pity in the face of a friend
Even though he tried to hide it with a grin
Yes he put on a very good act
But I knew, yes I did
You'd been runnin' around behind my back

So I'm taking that road away from you
Gonna find myself a place to hide
And when people remember they say
He was saving face and pride
Oh oh

I saw pity in the face of my friend
But for some reason I had to look again
There in his eyes
The truth was plain to see
It was him, yes it was
That you really loved and not me

Oh I saw saw pity Lord in the face of my friend
You know I'm just don't think I can stand to see it again oh no
