George Clinton
Put Your Own Puzzle Together
[Intro]
Life is a jigsaw, a ball of confusion
Happiness and then illusion
[Chorus]
Put your own puzzle together
You got to live with it forever
Put your own puzzle together
You've got to deal with it forever
[Verse 1]
Take a man and his girl
In this ever changing world
Trying to make it through life
On faith and love
To climb up success ladder
Well, it's not an easy matter
There'll be mistakes
And maybe heartbreaks
But you'll make it through
If you got what it takes
[Chorus]
Put your own puzzle together
You gotta live within it forever
Put your own puzzle together
'Cause you've gotta deal with it forever
[Bridge]
Put it together, yeah
It's your own life, oh
You gotta put your live together
Life is a jigsaw, a ball of confusion
Happiness and then illusion
Oh yeah...
[Verse 2]
Here you stand, with your future in doubt
Your life's all scattered all around you
(Life is a jigsaw, a ball of confusion
Happiness and then illusion)
What are you gonna do?
Wanna try and take a little (Life is a jigsaw)
Piece of life from over there (A ball of confusion)
And put it over here (Happiness)
Oh, get your life together (And then illusion)
[Chorus]
Put your own puzzle together
You got to live within it forever
Ever and ever
Put your own puzzle together
You've got to deal with it forever
[Verse 3]
Tell the rich, tell the poor
Take a little but no more
No one has the time
To lend a helping hand
Inside you feel like crying
But you keep on trying
Love sits in the wings, and patiently waits
Until someone decides to give you a break
[Chorus]
Put your own puzzle together
Won't you try it?
You got to live with it forever
I gotta put my puzzle together
You got to live with it, yes you do
I can tell y'all that, I know
Trouble don't last always, always
You got to deal with it the way it is
Sometimes
[Outro]
Like sugar and spice, everything's nice
Make you wanna walk on a sunny day
You got to put your puzzle together
It can be snails, and puppy dog tails
Make you wanna walk around
With your head held down
You got to put your puzzle together
