Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down 歌詞
Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down (Single Version Mono) - The Temptations
Ow people gather round me
It's whom it may concern
I'm not trying to run your life
But you're never too old to learn
Stop worrying about your neighbors
And the fancy things they got
'Cause if you do you'll find it sure
You're gonna wind up on the spot
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Joneses
Get you down oh down
One more time
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Joneses
Get you down oh down
You may not believe it
But nine times out of ten it's true
The people you're trying to keep up with
Are trying to keep up too
Remember that old saying
"All that glitters ain't gold"
Take heed don't ignore it
Until your money time will hold oh
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Joneses
Get you down oh down
Hear me now now
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Joneses
Get you down oh down
You're lying to yourself
But you don't even know it
You're so busy following the Joneses
You ain't got time to show it
Keeping up with the Joneses
It'll only makes your life a mess
Bill collectors tranquilizers
And getting deeper in debt
You better leave
The Joneses alone
Tell 'em one more time
You better leave oh leave
The Joneses alone
Joneses got a new car today
Here's what you should say
Hurray for the Joneses
Instead you worry till your
Whole head turns gray
Worry 'bout the Joneses
Remember it's their car
And they're the ones
Who had to pay
So leave Jo-jo-joneses alone
Listen your car might be old
But remember it never fails
To get you where you want to go
Oh don't let the Jones
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Joneses
Get you down oh down
Hear me now now
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Joneses
Get you down oh down
Don't let the Joneses get you down
Now listen
If you see something you want
And you know you can't afford it
The very next thing
For you to do is
Start saving towards it
The Joneses have been a downfall
For many persons you see
So people take my advice
And let the Joneses be
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Joneses
Get you down oh down
Hear me now now
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Jones
Don't let the Joneses
Get you down oh down
You're doing fine
Don't let the Joneses get you down
You're doing fine
Don't let the Joneses get you down
