What's Your Thing

(album: The Staple Swingers - 1971)

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!
