It's a little bit fUnny Lord, this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but, boy, if I did I'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
If, if, if I was a sculpture Lord, honey, but then again, no (then again no, no) Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do You gave me a gift Lord, and I'm gonNA sing it for you And you can tell everybody that this is your song (this is your song) It may be a quite, quite simple, but that's how it's done I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind What I wrote down in words, words How wonderful life is when you're in the world, world, world
If, if, (if), if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes (kick off my shoes , kick my shoes off) I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you and people like me I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on
So excuse me, so excuse me So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do Lord (these things I do Lord) You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue Anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean You've got the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes The clearest eyes I've ever seen, I hope you got back
I hope you, I hope you got back and tell everybody That this is your song (this is your song) It may be quite, quite simple, but now that's how it's done I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind But I wrote down in words Lord, words I'm doin' it for how wonderful it is when you're in the world, world, world
If, if, (if), if I sat upon a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes, oh yeah (kick off my shoes, kick my shoes off) I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you, people like me I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on, so escuse me, so escuse me
So escuse me forgetting, but these things I do (these things I do Lord) You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue, baby And anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes The sweetest eyes I've ever seen
I want you to go back, go back and and tell everybody That Billy Paul's got a song (Billy Paul's got a song) I'm, I'm gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick off my shoes I'm gonna write it (write it), write it (write it), write it (write it) I might come out with the Gospel (Gospel), the blues (blues), The jazz (jazz), the rock and roll
I'm gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody Because this is my song (this is my song) It may be quite, quite simple but that's the way it's done I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind What I wrote down in words, words You come back, you try to try again, try again
Tell everybody that Billy Paul's got a song (Billy Paul's got a song) It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done, baby I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind what I wrote down in words Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it ooooh Get back, get, got, oh no
I see you sittin' there all alone Crying your eyes out While everything's going wrong You know there's gonna be A whole lot of trouble in your life Listen to me, get up off your knees 'Cause only the strong survive
Only the strong survive Only the strong survive Hey, you gotta be strong You gotta hold on I said don't give up, no don't
I said don't go around With your head looking down Dont you let'em make you feel like a clown There's a lot of opportunity Out there just waiting for you But you'll never succeed if you've given up And say your life is through Listen this minute what I'm tellin' you
Only the strong survive Only the strong survive I Hey, you gotta be strong Gotta hold on You gotta be a man, take a stand
Only the strong survive Only the strong survive

'Cause only the strong survive Only the strong survive Weak fall by the wayside You gotta be strong You gotta hold on You gotta keep goin' on
Only the strong survive Only the strong survive Weak fall by the wayside You gotta be a man You gotta take a stand
Get up, set your body in motion You knnw the strong survive Wake up and get your education So you can keep your family alive Get away from negative situations It can only bring you a lot of frustrations 'Cause only the strong survive
Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time. There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'. One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'.
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late, though we really did try to make it. Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide, and I just can't fake it, oh, no, no.
It used to be so easy, livin' here with you. You were light and breezy, an' I knew just what to do. Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool.
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late, though we really did try to make it. Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide, and I just can't fake it, oh, no, no.
There'll be good times again for me and you, but we just can't stay together; don't you feel it too? Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you.
And it's too late, baby now, it's too late, though we really did try to make it. Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide, and I just can't fake it, oh, no, no. no, no, no, no.
