Lyrics The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers

So You Wanna Stay Down

So you wanna stay down you refuse to be happy, yeah

You wanna go back on your word 'cause it just got turned around

Oh keep on dreamin' hey baby

Nevertheless you can still be safe and sound

You wanna stay down you refuse to be happy

Oh, you wanna go back to yourfriends on the other side

But keep on dreamin' hey baby

Just remember that I love you

And I wouldn't have it any other way

Get a little stronger in your spirit

And all of your fears will go away

So you wanna stay down you refuse to be happy, yeah

To them you look roped and tied but you're still runnin' fast and free

Oh keep on dreamin' hey baby

Your motivation in somethin' hard to see

You wanna stay down you refuse to be happy

Well, whatever happens to you I know that you're one of a kind

Just keep on dreamin' hey baby

Sometimes you find disappointment, but never forget what you truly believe

People see you crawlin' but you're gettin' closer

Now ask yourself can you get off your knees
