Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down - The Temptations[00:00:00]

Written by：Barrett Strong/Norman Whitfield[00:00:00]

Ow people gather round me[00:00:32]

It's whom it may concern[00:00:34]

I'm not trying to run your life[00:00:36]

But you're never too old to learn[00:00:38]

Stop worrying about your neighbors[00:00:40]

And the fancy things they got[00:00:42]

'Cause if you do you'll find it sure[00:00:44]

You're gonna wind up on the spot[00:00:46]

Don't let the Jones[00:00:49]

Don't let the Jones[00:00:50]

Don't let the Joneses[00:00:51]

Get you down oh down[00:00:52]

One more time[00:00:55]

Don't let the Jones[00:00:57]

Don't let the Jones[00:00:58]

Don't let the Joneses[00:00:59]

Get you down oh down[00:01:00]

You may not believe it[00:01:12]

But nine times out of ten it's true[00:01:14]

The people you're trying to keep up with[00:01:16]

Are trying to keep up too[00:01:18]

Remember that old saying[00:01:20]

"All that glitters ain't gold"[00:01:22]

Take heed don't ignore it[00:01:24]

Until your money time will hold oh[00:01:26]

Don't let the Jones[00:01:29]

Don't let the Jones[00:01:30]

Don't let the Joneses[00:01:31]

Get you down oh down[00:01:32]

Hear me now now[00:01:35]

Don't let the Jones[00:01:37]

Don't let the Jones[00:01:38]

Don't let the Joneses[00:01:39]

Get you down oh down[00:01:40]

You're lying to yourself[00:01:55]

But you don't even know it[00:01:56]

You're so busy following the Joneses[00:01:59]

You ain't got time to show it[00:02:00]

Keeping up with the Joneses[00:02:03]

It'll only makes your life a mess[00:02:04]

Bill collectors tranquilizers[00:02:07]

And getting deeper in debt[00:02:09]

You better leave[00:02:10]

The Joneses alone[00:02:14]

Tell 'em one more time[00:02:16]

You better leave oh leave[00:02:18]

The Joneses alone[00:02:22]

Joneses got a new car today[00:02:27]

Here's what you should say[00:02:29]

Hurray for the Joneses[00:02:31]

Instead you worry till your[00:02:35]

Whole head turns gray[00:02:37]

Worry 'bout the Joneses[00:02:39]

Remember it's their car[00:02:42]

And they're the ones[00:02:44]

Who had to pay[00:02:45]

So leave Jo-jo-joneses alone[00:02:47]

Listen your car might be old[00:02:50]

But remember it never fails[00:02:54]

To get you where you want to go[00:02:56]

Oh don't let the Jones[00:02:58]

Don't let the Jones[00:03:00]

Don't let the Joneses[00:03:01]

Get you down oh down[00:03:03]

Hear me now now[00:03:06]

Don't let the Jones[00:03:07]

Don't let the Jones[00:03:08]

Don't let the Joneses[00:03:09]

Get you down oh down[00:03:11]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:03:33]

Now listen[00:03:38]

If you see something you want[00:03:38]

And you know you can't afford it[00:03:41]

The very next thing[00:03:43]

For you to do is[00:03:44]

Start saving towards it[00:03:45]

The Joneses have been a downfall[00:03:47]

For many persons you see[00:03:49]

So people take my advice[00:03:50]

And let the Joneses be[00:03:53]

Don't let the Jones[00:03:55]

Don't let the Jones[00:03:56]

Don't let the Joneses[00:03:57]

Get you down oh down[00:03:58]

Hear me now now[00:04:02]

Don't let the Jones[00:04:03]

Don't let the Jones[00:04:04]

Don't let the Joneses[00:04:05]

Get you down oh down[00:04:06]

You're doing fine[00:04:10]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:04:13]

You're doing fine[00:04:18]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:04:21]
