Great song. I also like David Ruffin's version which was more soulful. RIP Norman Whitfield, genius.

This song also holds true to keep your enemies close and your friends closer!!!!!

sparwood8: cynical my ass. I worked at HRBlock for 6 yrs, this song was the law of the land while I was there! Hell I had a supervisor who would constantly make comments about my car because it was 'better than what he drove'. All kinds of crazy shit... This song hits the nail on the head!

Norman Whitfield was one the greatest producers and songwriters of the 20th century.

The song itself is quite pleasant to listen to.

I find it harder to trust someone who never smiles at all. and the people I trust the least are often them who acutally believe this cynical shit
