Overnight Success - Gladys Knight & The Pips

The time has come to take a look around us See once again if we are living happily

'Cause almost everything is changing

Things are seldom what they seem

So if we could be honest

We could say what we mean

You look at me and you think it’s been so easy

Things that you want, they should have been here yesterday

Well, that is not the way it happened

I worked hard for my respect

Believed what I was feeling

And try not to expect

Overnight success, stars are on the rise

These are ever changing times

Well, some will last and some will burn out too fast

I stood in it’s light, overnight success

I know doesn’t happen overnight

Well, the world is still a circle

What goes around, someday will come around again

So just treat every person fairly as you start among that cloud

'Cause everything will happen in it’s own special time

Overnight success, stars are on the rise

These are ever changing times

Well, some will last and some will burn out too fast

I stood in it’s light, overnight success

I know doesn’t happen overnight

Well, the world will be a circle

What goes around someday will come around again

So just treat every person fairly

Reecho everyone’s respect

Just believe in what you’re doing

And try not to expect

Overnight success, stars are on the rise

These are ever changing times

Well, some will last and some will burn out too fast

I stood in it’s light, overnight success

I know doesn’t happen overnight
