Bob Dylan. The final lines are some of my favorites, but the whole song is good poetry.
Positively 4th Street
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side thatâ??s winning
You say I let you down
You know itâ??s not like that
If youâ??re so hurt
Why then donâ??t you show it
You say you lost your faith
But thatâ??s not where itâ??s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
Youâ??re in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think Iâ??d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he donâ??t know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, â??How are you?â? â??Good luckâ?
But you donâ??t mean it
When you know as well as me
Youâ??d rather see me paralyzed
Why donâ??t you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps Iâ??d rob them
And now I know youâ??re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Donâ??t you understand
Itâ??s not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
Youâ??d know what a drag it is
To see you

There does not seem to be a Dylan version available, so here is a good cover of it.
