Sly & The Family Stone Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) Lyrics

Lookin' at the devil
Grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin'
I begin to run
Bullets start chasin'
I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle
I was on the top

I want t' thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again
Thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again

(instrumental)

Stiff all in the collar
Fluffy in the face
Chit chat chatter tryin'
It's stuffy in the place
Thank you for the party
But I could never stay
Many thangs is on my mind
Words in the way

I want t' thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again
Thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again

(instrumental)

Dance to the music
All nite long
Everyday people
Sing a simple song
Mama's so happy
Mama start to cry
Papa still singin'
You can make it if you try

I want t' thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again
(Different strokes, for different folks, yeah) Thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again

Flamin' eyes of people fear
Burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much
Hatin' what they do
Youth and truth are makin' love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take
Sellin' out is harder

Thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again
I want t' thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again

Thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again

(d' d' d' doo d' doo doo doo d' doo doo doo,)
Thank you f' lettin' me
Be myself again

I want t' thank you f' lettin' me
(d' d' d' doo d' doo doo doo d' doo doo doo)
Be myself again

I want t' thank you f' lettin' me
(d' d' d' doo d' doo doo doo d' doo doo, doo)
Be myself again

I want t' thank you f' lettin' me
(d' d' d' doo d' doo doo doo d' doo doo doo)
Be myself again

(fade out)

I want t' thank you f' lettin' me- (oh yeah) ...
