Lyrics Kool & The Gang

Kool & The Gang

This Is You, This Is Me

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.

[Sax solo]

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
