Only One Way Out of This Mess Songtext
von Sly & the Family Stone

Sitting here with all that love in my favourite position
I realise that
There′s only one way out of this mess
Knock the corners off the squares
We ain't nothing in love, the rest
We′re all divided into equal shares

Keep you mind off love
Keep your man from love
If you want it all
You better keep your mind off...

Accept this if you please
You can't stand long on wobbly knees
Get out there and make it
I am
Me too (me too)

Stop everything you're doing and look around
How can one look down when one is down?
How can one look up when one is bound?
Make all the noise you want without a sound


Keep you mind off love
Keep your man up front
Keep your woman out there
You better keep your mind on her

Accept this if you please
You can′t stand long on wobbly knees
Get out there and make it
I am
Me too my brother

Sitting here with all that love in my favourite position
I realise that
There′s only one way out of this mess
Knock the corners off the squares
We ain't nothing in love, the rest
We′re all divided into equal shares

Keep you man off love
Keep your mind from...
Keep your woman out there
You better keep your man


Accept this if you please
You can't stand long on wobbly knees
Get out there and make it
I am
Me too (me too)

Stop everything you′re doing and look around
How can one look down when one is down?
How can one look up when one is bound?
Make all the noise you want without a sound

Keep your man
Keep your man up front
You gotta keep your woman out there
Keep your mind on her

Accept this if you please
You can't stand long on wobbly knees
Get out there and make it
I am
Me too my brother
