Ow!
Yeah, yeah
When I was a young skinny boy
My momma said to me
The world out there is hot and dirty
Mean as it wants to be
I know there's gonna be times when you're down and out
So listen now, kid
Listen now, son
I'll tell you what it's all about
("You gotta try to keep your head above the water")
That's what my momma told me
("You gotta try to keep a step ahead of time")
(And even though you do some things you shouldn't ought to (shouldn't ought to)
If you love your brothers, love will come back to you
Love'll come back to you
(Love'll come back to you)
Love'll come back to you
Live my life in so many ways
To find out who I am
Time's approaching
I really can say
I truly understand
Got more livin' to do for myself
So run along now
Play along later
Stay up by the shelf
Sing it, girls
(Gotta try to keep your head above the water)
Yes you do, yes I do
(You gotta try to keep a step ahead of time)
(Even though you do some things you shouldn't ought to)
(If you love your sisters, love will come back to you)
Love'll come back to you
(Love'll come back to you)
All the world is turnin' to stone
Slowly, it will die
But that is something I never will see
I don't know why
Tryin' to take the world the best I can
Might be now
Probably be later
Stand up like a man
Hey, hey, hey
(Gotta try to keep your head above the water)
Yes you do, yes you do, yes you do
(Gotta try to keep a step ahead of time)
(Even though you do some things you shouldn't ought to)
(Love your brothers and sisters, love'll come back to you)
Love'll come back to you
(Love'll come back to you)
(Love'll come back to you)
Love'll come back to you
(Love'll come back to you)
(Love'll come back to you)
My mama told me (love'll come back to you)
My mama told me (love'll come back to you)
