Paul Overstreet - Take Some Action lyrics

rate me

(Paul Overstreet - Tom Campbell)

When I was a young boy in my early teens

My heart started falling for a girl named Jean

I never got the courage up to let her know

Jean wound up falling for a boy named Joe.

You've got to take some action put some motion to the plan

You've got to take some action make your move while you still can

You can twiddle-y dee or twiddle-y dum

Nothing's gonna happen just a twiddling your thumbs

You've got to take some action take some action.

Now Harry he was married to his work and his wife

Had to decide which was first in his life

He traded some money for some more time at home

Now his wife calls him honey the romance is back on.

You've got to take some action if you want love to work

You've got to take some action give it even when it hurts

You can twiddle-y dee or twiddle-y dum

Nothing's gonna happen just a twiddling your thumbs

You've got to take some action take some action.

Now grandma and grandpa they might look old

But they never did let their love get cold

They keep the fire burning in that old stove

They've spent a lifetime a learning how to stoke the coals.

They know to take some action put some motion to the plan

You've got to take some action make your move while you still can

You can twiddle-y dee or twiddle-y dum

Nothing's gonna happen just a twiddling your thumbs

You've got to take some action take some action.

If you want satisfaction take some action...
