Lyrics I Felt - Arthur Russell

I Felt

And I felt so sad
I treated everybody bad
And I felt so bad
I never knew the friends I had
When the school year was over in the hall
It was pretty empty
When the doors were locked up after all
I was pretty empty
And I felt so sad
I treated everybody bad
And I felt so bad
I never knew the friends I had
I always thought the people at the school
Didn’t know anything about anything
But now I don’t think I’m so cool
I don’t know anything about anything
And I felt so sad
I treated everybody bad
And I felt so bad
I never knew the friends I had
I went to my locker and took off the lock
And opened up the locker
I knew it was the last time I’d look at the clock
As I opened up the locker
And I felt so sad
I treated everybody bad
And I felt so bad
I never knew the friends I had
Inside the locker was my far out hat
The one that I wear sometimes
But I felt too shitty to put on that
Even though I wear it sometimes
And I felt so sad
I treated everybody bad
And I felt so bad
I never knew the friends I had
I didn’t put the padlock back on the door
Because the year was over
Because I won’t be using it no more
Because the year was over
And I felt so sad
I treated everybody bad
And I felt so bad
I never knew the friends I had
My teacher was there in a suit and tie
Trying to be friendly
Was hard to look him in the eye
Trying to be friendly
And I felt so sad
I treated everybody bad
And I felt so bad
I never knew the friends I had
I never knew the friends I had
