What's Your Thing - The Staple Singers

Oooh!

Aww

Aww yeah

Mmm hmm

If anybody, he loves me

Raise your hand, yeah

If anybody, he needs me

Raise your hand

Don’t let the color of my skin

Come between me and you friend

My thing is love

My thing is freedom

My thing is peace (Yes, y’all)

What’s your thing?

(Love, freedom, and peace)

Alright

I’m not a doctor

I’m not a lawyer

Or an Indian Chief, no, no

But I got love for everybody, inside of me

I’m not here to be your guide

But I’ll-a march with ya 'til my feet are sore by your side

My thing is love

My thing is freedom

My thing is peace

What’s your thing?

(Love, freedom, and peace)

Well I pray, to the Lord above

To give us all just a little love

Wash all the hate and sin out of our minds

And make this a better world

Oooh!

Yeah

Aww yeah

Wipe that frown off your face

To human race

'Cause God put love in everybody’s hearts

Just let it stay

You got to clean up your own backyard

Then you just go right from yard to yard

My thing is love

My thing is freedom, well

My thing is peace

What’s your thing?

(Love, freedom, and peace)

You can’t beat them three

(Love, freedom, and peace)

You can’t beat them three

(Love, freedom, and peace)

I tell you, you can’t beat them three

(Love, freedom, and peace)

No, no, no, no, you can’t beat them three

(Love, freedom, and peace)

Mmm, say it again now

(Love, freedom, and peace)

But it sound mighty good to me, yeah, mmm hmm

(Love, freedom, and peace)

What a mighty, mighty good three

(Love, freedom, and peace)

Yeah

(Love, freedom, and peace)

C’mon, c’mon!
