Paroles
[Chorus]
You'd better think (Think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (Think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
[Verse 1]
Let's go back, let's go back
Let's go way on to way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't've been too much more than ten (Just a child)
[Verse 2]
I ain't no psychiatrist
I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much I.Q.
To see what you're doing to me
[Chorus]
You'd better think (Think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me, yeah
Think (Think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
[Bridge]
Oh freedom (Freedom)
Get yourself some freedom (Freedom)
Oh freedom
Yeah, freedom
Right now, freedom (Freedom)
Oh freedom (Freedom)
You need you some freedom
Oh freedom, oh right now
[PreChorus]
Hey, think about it
You think about it
There ain't nothing you could ask
I could answer you with "I won't" (I won't)
But I was gonna change to "I'm not"
If you keep doing things I don't (Don't)
[Chorus]
You'd better think (Think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me, oh, whoa (What should I do?)
Think (Think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
[Verse 3]
People walk around every day
Playing games and taking scores
Trying to make other people lose their minds
Well, be careful you don't lose yours
[Chorus]
Oh, think (Think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me, woo-hoo!
Think (Think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
[Chorus]
You need me (Need me)
And I need you (Don't you know it?)
Without each other, there ain't nothing either can do
[Outro]
Oh yeah, think about it, baby (What you're trying to do to me, baby?)
To the bone, baby
Think about it right now
Yeah, right now (To the bone for deepness)
Oh, right now (To the bone for deepness)
Hey, hey, right now (To the bone for deepness)
You should think about it, baby, baby, baby (Think about it)
Woo! To the bone, baby (To the bone for deepness)
Yeah! Woo-hoo! (To the bone for deepness)
To the bone for deepness
