Oh Lord, mama used to say,
go now, go now, go now
My mama say son,
be true to yourself
Don't let the system get you down, no
Hey, cause whenever
you've done your best
Let God do the rest
and pray for everyone that is around
Now, see, never be jealous,
neither be envious
And in God you should
put your trust
Now, all the good you do
will surely leave with you
Al ways be good,
now listen to what I've got to say
Listen, listen,
be true to yourself always
And don't you ever try to
be like someone else
Move away from the fire
See, when you give love, you get love
Don't ever stop from giving it up
When you give love, you get love
Don't ever stop from givin' love
When you give love, you get love
Don't ever stop from givin' love
When you give love, you get love
Don't ever stop from givin' love
No, no now, oh now
Whoa, whoa now
Move away from the fire,
the fire
Don't you burn your
bridges behind you
You may wanna turn and
come back again
For surely one day you'll need a friend
For no man is an island
And no man stands alone
When you give love, you get love
Don't you ever stop from giving it up
When you give love, you get love
Don't you ever stop from giving it up
When you give love, you get love
Don't you ever stop from giving it up
When you give love, you get love
Don't ever stop from givin' up
No, no, oh lord
Oh, oh, oh lord
Yeah, now, yeah, now, yeah, now
Oh, now, hey, oh lord
Always be good,
now listen to what I say
Please son, please son, please son
