What you do and what you say
Has alot to do in how you live today
What you want and what you make
Everybody knows it's only what you take
What you see and what you hear
When it comes around again it's never clear
You say yes they say no
Everyone is talking everywhere you go

You try to give another man a helping hand
He will take your kindness for a weaker stand
Never do to others what they do to you
Try to find another way to make it through

What I say is what I know
Try to get a favor going door to door
You stop and pray,it's out of style
To get a step ahead it takes a hundred miles
What I say is what I know
Try to get a favor going door to door
You stop and pray you know that's out of style
To get a step ahead it takes a hundred miles
You try to give another man a helping hand
He will take your kindness for a weaker stand
You'd better do it to them before they do it to you
What you do and what you say
Has alot to do in how you live today
What you want and what you make
Everybody knows it's only what you take

And now what you see and what you hear
When it comes around again it's nota going
To be the same again
Because,you say yes and they say no
Everyone is talking and talkin' blah blah
Everywhere you go
And you know somethin'
You try to give another man a helping hand
You know what he is going to do?
He gonna take your kindness for a weaker stand
You try do to others what they do to you
Forget it,it's going to be some other kind of thing
Try to find another way to make it through

You try to give another man a helping hand
He will take your kindness for a weaker stand
Never do to others what they do to you
Try to find another way to make it through
