Sly and the Family Stone
It Takes All Kinds
[Verse 1]
Somebody has got to win and somebody will lose
Others cannot tell a friend from someone to refuse
Some of us don’t give a shit or shock you much at all
Others might say “I heard that” about something off the wall

[Chorus]
It takes all kinds
It takes all kinds
It takes all kinds
It takes all kinds

[Verse 2]
Sometimes it might seem to you your living is in vain
When people seem to offer you unnecessary strain
All that you have got to do is remember who you are
I told you that and I’m saying it again, everybody is a star

[Chorus]
It takes all kinds
It takes all kinds
It takes all kinds
It takes all kinds

Ooh-ooh…ooh-ooh…
Ooh-ooh…ooh-ooh…
[Repeat Verse 1]
Somebody has got to win and somebody will lose
Others cannot tell a friend from someone to refuse
Some of us don’t give a shit or shock you much at all
Others might say “I heard that” about something off the wall

[Chorus]
It takes all kinds
It takes all kinds
Ooh, it takes all kinds
Ooh, it takes all kinds
Ooh, it takes all kinds
Ooh, it takes all kinds
Yes it does
