Loading...

[intro]
alright
yeah
hey

[verse 1]
sometimes, life can get you in a hurry, but
i’m just gonna take it slow
that don’t mean i ain’t been working y’all
i’m working on me, baby
i’m working on me, darling
i’m taking some time to see
the people who keep me going
summertime broken leisure
down a bad line now
i’m not saying that i’m not judging now
i’m just gonna tell ya what i tell ’em now

[chorus]
i’ve got friends and i’ve got, i’ve got family (i’ve got)
i’ve got help from all the people who love me
i’ve got friends and i’ve got, i’ve got family (i’ve got)
i’ve got help from all the people who love me

[post-chorus]
oh, yeah
oh yeah

[verse 2]
sometimes people try to take all they can from you, but
they don’t call me “bubbles” for nothing now
and if people ask my pops, he’ll tell them that
she gets it from me, baby
she gets it from me, darling
chicago wasn’t always easy
but love made the windy city breezy

[chorus]
i’ve got friends and i’ve got, i’ve got family (i’ve got)
i’ve got help from all the people who love me
i’ve got friends and i’ve got, i’ve got family (i’ve got)
i’ve got help from all the people who love me

[bridge]
mavis, take us back, mavis, take us back now

mavis, take us back, mavis, take us back now (oh yeah)

[interlude]

i know i’ve got love
yeah
i’ve got people
i’ve got people

people who love me, yeah

every now and then
