| 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 |
