The Staple Singers - You've Got to Earn It lyrics

To get stones from a rock You've got to break it To get bread from dough You've got to bake it To get water from a faucet You've got to turn it If you wanna be loved If you wanna be loved (If you want to be loved) You've got to earn it To get fire from matches You've got to strike them To get the feeling like this You've got to like it To get ashes from wood You've got to burn it If you wanna be loved If you wanna be loved Ooh, you've got to earn it Throw hate right out of your heart To make broken things work You've got to fix 'em That's what you gotta do, now To make two things one You've got to mix them, yeah To get bu*ter from milk You've got to churn it If you wanna be loved If you wanna be loved Said y'all You've got to earn it Earn it, earn it Earn it, earn it That's what you gott do, now Earn it, earn it Earn it, earn it Earn the right to be loved Earn it, earn it
