Lyrics
It's beautiful
When you come into the world
'Cause you don't know nothin' 'bout nothin'
'Til you wake up and see the world
And if you're lucky
Oh, you might make it halfway down the world
But life ain't easy
Life ain't a big bowl of charms
And everybody take their chances
And everybody goes from harm to harms
But they say
You can't love but one woman
If she's got all the charm
And I know better
Lotta people doin' better than me
But that don't make me mad
'Cause I was too blind to see
But everybody got a chance
That's what they say
But you can't prove it to me
The rich get richer
The poor get poor
And the prostitute stays on the streets
But a high class (n-word) knock on the door
Everybody gets lucky
And you better believe it
You got to be smart to live in this world with charm
And a lot of women don't need no man
A lot of men don't need no woman
But they gotta have love and the charm
Now you can take my wife
Now don't do that to me
They got needed love
For the man and me
I ain't done nothin' extra
I never went no far or done nothin', nothin' like that
But I learned from the other people
You gotta have money
To live like that
If you don't know
What you're doin'
You do it for somebody else
You can get out in the world
And go live by yourself
You heard this song long time ago
Man went in the mountain
And he made a fortune when he come back and sing
Now pay attention
Takes style, takes personality, takes love, takes
Understandin', takes a mutual under- (r-r-r) agreement
Nothin' personally
But I know a friend
Who left the world quick
And his life end
But he told me somethin'
And you believe it, he had charm
And he said
When you make love
Be sure you hold the girls tight in your arms
