For My Own Songtext
von Sir Rosevelt

Oooh Hooo, Ooooh Hooo
Save some for my own
Oooh Hooo, Ooooh Hooo
Save some for my own

Gather round, let me tell you a story
When I was a young man on my own
I knew the world was there for the taking
Thought I could do it on my own

Born to run, far too long
Don′t you wait until the shine is gone
We are born just to give
For as long as you live

Oh, you gotta save some for your own
If you don't save some for yourself
You can′t love nobody else
Hmm, you gotta save some for your own

For my own
For my own


Life's a marathon, it ain't a sprint running
Stop and breathe, we′re only flesh and bone
Give yourself to the ones who really need it
Help them to make it on their own

Born to run, far too long
Don′t you wait until the shine is gone
Born to run, far too long
Don't you wait until the shine is gone
We are born just to give
For as long as you live

Oh, you gotta save some for your own
If you don′t save some for yourself
You can't love nobody else
Hmm, you gotta save some for your own

I ain′t coming here to be your preacher
I ain't saying it′s the only way
Hard living makes people believers
Pay attention to what I say
Everybody needs a piece of freedom
Society is like a guilty cage
Karma has a boomerang for people
and what you do will come around one day


We are born just to give
For as long as you live
Oh, you gotta save some for your own
If you don't save some for yourself
You can't love nobody else
Hmm, you gotta save some for your own

For my own
For my own
For my own
For my own

no, no, no, no

Ooooh, Hooo
Oooh, Hoooo
Save some for my own
