The Temptations - Don't Let the Joneses Get You Down (Mono) lyrics

Ow, people gather round me, it's to whom it may concern I'm not trying to run your life but you're never too old to learn Stop worrying about your neighbors and the fancy things they got 'Cause if you do you'll find it sure you're gonna wind up on the spot, ow Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses Just get you down, oh down, one more time Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses Just get you down, oh down Oh, you may not believe it but nine times out of ten it's true The people you're trying to keep up with are trying to keep up too Remember that old saying, 'All that glitters ain't gold' Take heed, don't ignore it until your money time will hold Ow, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses Just get you down, oh down, hear me now, now Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses Just get you down, oh down You're lying to yourself but you don't even know it You're so busy following the Joneses you ain't got time to show it Keeping up with the Joneses as it will make your life a mess Bill collectors, tranquilizers and getting deeper in debt You better leave the Joneses alone, tell 'em one more time You better leave, oh leave the Joneses alone Joneses got a new car today, here's what you should say Hooray for the Joneses Instead you worry till your whole head turns gray Worry about the Joneses Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay So leave Jo-Jo-Joneses alone Listen your car might be old but remember it never fails To get you where you wanna go Oh, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses Get you down, oh down, hear me now, now Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses Just get you down, oh down You're doing fine Don't let the Joneses get you down Now listen, if you see something you want And you know you can't afford it The very next thing for you to do is start saving towards it The Joneses are one in town for how many persons you see So people take my advice and let the Joneses be, ow Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses Get you down, oh down, hear me now, now Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses Don't let the Joneses, get you down, oh down You're doing fine Don't let the Joneses get you down You're doing fine Don't let the Joneses get you down
