Cryin' babies on the doorstep,
|
Helpless as can be,
|
Lady of the evening,
|
Set your mind free.
|
Grown up in a ghetto,
|
Never seen a tree, oh...
|
|
If you don't understand
|
The words to this song
|
It's on you,
|
It's on me
|
|
If you don't understand
|
The words to this song
|
It's on you,
|
It's on me, yeah
|
|
If you try to make it better,
|
Try to pull it in
|
You take it from your pocket,
|
You'll take it from within, yeah
|
You'll take it from your pride, y'all,
|
You're right back where you been, yeah.
|
It's sort of like a seesaw
|
Up and down again.
|
The key is in vacation?
|
|
If you don't understand
|
The words to this song,
|
It's on you,
|
It's on me
|
|
If you don't understand,
|
don't get me wrong,
|
It's on you,
|
It's on me, yeah.

|
|
If you don't understand
|
The words to this song,
|
It's on me,
|
It's on you, yeah.
|
|
If you don't understand,
|
don't get me wrong,
|
It's on you
|
It's all about you and me, ya'll
|
|
[A second sax solo]
|
|
Cryin' babies
|
On the doorstep
|
|
Grown up in a ghetto,
|
Never seen a tree
|
|
If you don't understand
|
The words to this song,
|
It's on me,
|
It's on you
|
|
If you don't understand,
|
Don't get me wrong,
|
It's on me,
|
It's on you
