This 1968 R&B/pop hit by Al Wilson is, essentially, a commentary on and warning of the dangers of being too gullible and trusting.
In short, one should be cautious in life and careful of just WHO it is they're trusting and giving the benefit of the doubt to. That, no matter how much one might feel for someone in a seemingly dire predicament, one's own self preservation still takes primary precedence over even sentiment and compassion.
This song is loosely based on an old Aesop's Fable THE FARMER AND THE VIPER.
