I Felt - Arthur Russell

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
