Skinny Boy — текст песни (Chicago)

Ow

Yeah, yeah



When I was a young skinny boy

My mama said to me

The world out there is hard and dirty

Mean as it wants to be

I know theres gonna be times when youre down and out

So listen now kid

Listen now son

Ill tell you what its all about



You gotta try to keep your head above the water

Thats what my mama told me

You gotta try to keep a step ahead of time

And even though you do some things you shouldnt ought to

Shouldnt ought to

If you love your brothers love will come back to you

Lovell come back to you

Lovell come back to you

Lovell come back to you



Lived my life in so many ways

To find out who I am

Times approaching

I really can say

Truly I understand

Got more livin to do for myself

To run along now

Play along later

Stay up by the shelf

Sing it girls



Gotta try to keep your head above the water

Yes you do yes you do

You gotta try to keep a step ahead of time

Even though you do some things you shouldnt ought to

If you love your sisters, love will come back to you

Lovell come back to you

Lovell come back to you



All the world is turnin slow

Slowly it will die

But that is something I never will see

I dont know why

Tryin to take the world the best I can

Write a bit now

Love a bit later

Stand up like a man

Hey, hey



Gotta try to keep your head above the water

Yes you do yes you do yes you do

Gotta try to keep a step ahead of time

Even though you do some things you shouldnt ought to

Love your brothers and sisters, lovell come back to you

Lovell come back to you

Lovell come back to you
