When They Tell Me… Funk

First thing on my mind
When I look at you
It’s crystal clear to me
You need the same I do
Got to use your head
Your power is in there
Got to try to be yourself
The outcome can’t be bad

You see, your hands tied up
You can’t move
Can’t do what you like
It’s time you finally tried to free your mind
Trust me I did the same
It’s working, perfect
My life has never been
So true to me
My life is true to me

Chorus 1:
Everybody says: go like this
Everybody tells you to do like this
Everyone knows what is going on
Everyone knows what is going on
Everybody says: go like this
Everybody tells you to do like this
Everyone knows what is going on
Everyone knows what is going on

First thing on my mind
When I look at you
It’s crystal clear to me
You need the same I do, yeah
Got to use your head (use your head)
Your power is in there (power is in there)
Got to try to be yourself
The outcome can’t be bad
(The outcome can’t be bad)

You see, your hands tied up
You can’t move
Can’t do what you like
It’s time you finally tried to free your mind
Trust me I did the same
It’s working, perfect
My life has never been
So true to me

Chorus 2:
When they tell me go, I stop
They tell me hold, I drop it
Tell me what you’re thinking but
I just do what I want
When they tell me go, I stop
They tell me hold, I drop it
Tell me what you’re thinking but
I just do what I want

Bridge
One step at a time
Do what’s on your mind
Pick the door you want
No compromise
Don’t let them pull you down
Have your way
Take your time
No room for doubt
It’s you who can do
The best for your life
So prove it to me

You see, your hands tied up
You can’t move
Can’t do what you like
It’s time you finally tried to free your mind
Trust me I did the same
It’s working, perfect
My life has never been
So true to me
My life is true to me

Chorus 1:
Everybody says, go like this
Everybody tells you to do like this
Everyone knows what is going on
Everyone knows what is going on
Everybody says, go like this
Everybody tells you to do like this
Everyone knows what is going on
Everyone knows what is going on

Chorus 2:
When they tell me go, I stop
They tell me hold, I drop it
Everyone knows what is going on
Everyone knows what is going on

Chorus 2
When they tell me go, I stop
Everybody says, go like this
They tell me hold, I drop it
Everyone knows what is going on
Everyone knows what is going on

When they tell me go, I stop
