(M. Riperton R. Rudolph)





When it comes down to it and it's time I get it on

Ain't no way to do it

You can find yourself alone

All you high falutin' ain't worth nothin' when you're old

When it comes down to it

Love will get you more than gold

When it comes down to it

When it comes down to it



When it comes down to it

There'll be dancin' in the night

Cause now the fools who blew it will be hidin' from the light

So mama tell your children not to feel so all alone

Cause when it comes down to it

He'll be there to take us home



We can get back to the garden

If we keep our karma high, yeah

We were meant to love each other

Like the birds wer meant to fly



When it comes down to it

There'll be dancin' in the night

Cause now the fools who blew it will be hidin' from the light

So mama tell your children not to feel so all alone

Cause when it comes down to it

He'll be there to take us home



When it comes down to it
