Minnie Riperton - Strange Affair lyrics

rate me

(M. Riperton - R. Rudolph - M. Henderson)

Hey there everybody, out there gettin down

Steppin with the fashions, throwin love around

You're hustlin for money, you playin' the big man's game

Going around in circles, you don't know where

Ah, you're smilin' through the pain

Oh, such a strange affair

Don't it blow your mind, mon cher

I ain't lyin', anything goes

you got to keep on tryin'

Everybody knows we got to turn it around

Cost of livin' risin'

Unemployment grows (I ain't got no job)

Wastin' our resources

Who's makes all the dough? (Everybody but the po')

Politicians Preachin

While color watchers are freakin'

Children needin' Teachin'

While for the stars we're reachin'

Oh, such a strange affair

Don't it blow your mind, mon cher

I can't stand it, it don't need to be that way

I don't want it

Yeah, there's got to be a change

We got to turn it around
