Sayin’ and Doin’ It by James Brown Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1974

Huh
Got a message for ya
People always fightin' wars
I wonder do they know what they fightin' for?

Now girls, do your thing
Why don't you shorten up your dress?
Because the guys today
They wanna take that mess
Wait a minute

I say girls, do your thing
Why don't you shorten up your dress?
Because the guys today
They wanna give that mess
Ahh

Sayin' it, doin' it
Don't give me no Watergate
Just give me some bucks
And I'll be straight
Wait a minute

Sayin' it, doin' it
Is just a different thing
It's just as much difference in it
As night and day

Sayin' it, doin' it
Is just a different thing
Just as much difference in it
As night and day

You got to dig it
Hey! Wait a minute
You got to dig it
Like you see it, now
Say it like it is
This ain't nobody's???
What it is is what it is
Mean it when you say a thing
Take my advice
Pick up on your rap, Good God
Give yourself another chance

Sayin' it, doin' it
Is just a different thing
It's just as much difference in it
As night and day
Sayin' it, doin' it
Just a different thing
It's just as much difference in it
As night and day

People always fightin' war
I wonder do they know what they fightin' for?

Now girls, do your thing, heh
Why don't you shorten up that dress?
'Cause the guys today
Huh
They wanna give that mess

Why don't you do your thing?
And tell me
Why don't you shorten up your dress?
Because the guys today
Woo!
They wanna give that mess
Ahh

Sayin' it, doin' it
Is just a different thing
It's just as much difference in it
As night and day
People have faith
Lay your head and concentrate
Do the best you can
Hmm

Fellas you got to?
Much as you can
You don't have to be
You don't have to be

Own as much as you can
You don't have to be on welfare
Stand up and be a man
Stand up and be a man
