《Be What You Are》歌词

[00:00:00] Be What You Are (Single Version) - The Staple Singers

[00:00:10] Poor man you oughta stop

[00:00:14] Trying to live a rich man's life

[00:00:19] Don't go out and buy a Cadillac

[00:00:23] If you know your money ain't right

[00:00:28] You'll find it's so much easier

[00:00:33] Living within your means

[00:00:37] If you can't afford caviar

[00:00:41] Don't be ashamed to eat pork and beans

[00:00:45] Now I'm not trying to tell you how to do it

[00:00:51] I'm only saying put some thought into it

[00:00:56] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:01:05] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:01:14] Just because they made a child

[00:01:18] Attend some private school

[00:01:22] You try to send yours

[00:01:25] Knowing all the time that you're really not able to

[00:01:32] Don't try to live like a king on a poor man's take

[00:01:41] That's one reason there are so many people hurting today

[00:01:48] Now I'm not trying to tell you how to do it

[00:01:54] I'm only saying put some thought into it

[00:01:58] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:02:08] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:02:35] Don't try to live as high

[00:02:39] As you see your boss man do

[00:02:44] Just remember you work for him

[00:02:48] And he don't work for you

[00:02:52] If there's something that you want

[00:02:57] And you know you can't afford it

[00:03:02] Don't be ashamed to put a little down on it

[00:03:06] And tell the layaway to hold it

[00:03:11] Now I'm not trying to tell you how to do it

[00:03:15] I'm only saying put some thought in to it

[00:03:20] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:03:29] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:03:38] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:03:47] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:03:56] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:04:05] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:04:12] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:04:23] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:04:32] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:04:41] Be what you are my friend and live your life

[00:04:49] Be what you are my friend and live your life
