PICK SOMEBODY UP

I don't wanna be nobody's fool
And I don't wanna take no one to school
I just wanna pick somebody up
I don't wanna tell you how I live
I just wanna give what I have to give
Maybe it'll pick somebody up

Smiling faces, warm embraces
Love is walking hand in hand
Revolution is no solution
To the tragedy of men, here's my plan
Hope I can: pick somebody up
Pick somebody up

Honey when you give your love to me
Together we can make some history
Maybe it'll pick somebody up
Go along and get along and sell my soul
That'a ain't a way this pappa rolls
When a little ? picks somebody up

Take a stranger, out of danger
Help someone to understand
That revolution is no solution
To the tragedy of men, here's my plan
Hope I can: pick somebody up
Pick somebody up

Why do you do it, why do you do it
Why do you do it, why do you do it

Some people ask me: why are you're doing this thing
How come you're playing music for people
Getting up early in the morning just to catch a plane, a bus or a train
Going insane, fanning a flame, so then why-
Is it for love? Is it for self-expression?
Is it to combat depression? Is it to make people happy?
I mean, I love it
I can hear it
I can listen when somebody smiles at me

When I'm happy, when I'm sad
When I'm surly, and when I'm glad
When that sunshine turns to rain
And I just can't stand the pain
And I feel I'm going insane
Till I get back home again

When I think I can't compete
And I just can't find the beat
When I'm old, when I'm young
When my final saw this song
I shall hope we have some fun
Spreading love to everyone
So before I tip my cup
I just wanna pick somebody up
Pick somebody up
Pick somebody up
Pick somebody up
Pick somebody up
Pick somebody up
