Minnie Riperton - Strange Affair - Текст песни

(M. Riperton - R. Rudolph - M. Henderson) 


Hey there everybody, out there gettin down 

Steppin with the fashions, throwin love around 

You're hustlin for money, you playin' the big man's game 

Going around in circles, you don't know where 

Ah, you're smilin' through the pain 


Oh, such a strange affair 

Don't it blow your mind, mon cher 

I ain't lyin', anything goes 

you got to keep on tryin' 

Everybody knows we got to turn it around 


Cost of livin' risin' 

Unemployment grows (I ain't got no job) 

Wastin' our resources 

Who's makes all the dough? (Everybody but the po') 

Politicians Preachin 

While color watchers are freakin' 

Children needin' Teachin' 

While for the stars we're reachin' 


Oh, such a strange affair 

Don't it blow your mind, mon cher 

I can't stand it, it don't need to be that way 

I don't want it 

Yeah, there's got to be a change 

We got to turn it around
