Think
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
Let's go back, let's go back
Let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't have been too much more than ten (just a child)
I ain't no psychiatrist
I ain't no doctor with degree
It don't take too much high IQs
To see what you're doing to me
You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
Oh, freedom (freedom)
Freedom (freedom)
Freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom)
Freedom (freedom)
Freedom, ooh freedom
There ain't nothing you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not
To keep doing things I don't
You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
People walking around everyday
Playing games that they can score
And I ain't gonna be the loser my way
Ah, be careful you don't lose yours
You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't you know)
Without each other
There ain't nothing people can do
Oh, freedom (freedom)
Freedom (freedom)
Freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom)
Freedom (freedom)
Freedom, ooh freedom
There ain't nothing you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not
If you're doing things I don't
You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't you know)
Without each other
There ain't nothing people can do
(Think about, ah me, think about, ah me
Think about, ah me, think about it)
(Think about, ah me, think about, ah me
Think about, ah me, think about it)
(Think about, ah me, think about, ah me
Think about, ah me, think about it)
(Think about, ah me, think about, ah me
Think about, ah me, think about it)
You had better stop and think before you think, think!
