Food for Thought Songtext
von Smokey Robinson

Hey tobacco man, tell me if you can-ah
How much money would you make, off that cigarette?
If your only son should partake
And then proceed to get, T.B. or Cancer
I got to know the answer

Industrial tycoon, you must see pretty soon
If you don′t stop pouring that poison waste, down into the water
Might not be any left to taste, think of your thirsty daughter
You'd sure sound funny
Sayin′ "Come on honey, let's try to drink this money"

Well, I'm not tryin′ to tell you what to do
But he who spins the web sometimes gets caught
A-I′m not tryin' to fill you full of bull
I′m just feeding you some food for thought
(Food for thought) a little food for thought
(Food for thought)
Yes I am (food for thought)


Hey man on the run-ah, out there having fun-ah
Tryin' to gander all the gooses, stallion all the mares
At home she′s immune to your excuses, for not being there
Now maybe she's got somebody there, when you′re not

Well, I'm not tryin' to tell you what to do
But he who spins the web sometimes gets caught
I′m not tryin′ to fill you full of bull
I'm just feeding you some food for thought
(Food for thought) a little food for thought
(Food for thought) you better listen people
(Food for thought) a little food for thought
(Food for thought)

Tryin′ to tell ya (I'm just feedin′)
Tryin' to tell ya (you some food for thought)
(Food for thought)

Well, mother who′s a wife, don't misuse your life
Makin', takin′ care of babies, is all you ever do
You got to fill daddy′s needs, cause he's your baby too
Your attention slippin′, will make daddy start tippin'
Out, that is


Well, I′m not tryin' to tell you what to do
But he who spins the web sometimes gets caught
Oh, I′m not tryin' to fill you full of bull
I'm just feeding you some food for thought
(Food for thought) a little food for thought
(Food for thought) you better listen people
(Food for thought) a little food for thought
(Food for thought)

Tryin′ to tell ya (I′m just feedin')
Tryin′ to tell ya (you some food for thought)
Listen people (food for thought)
Food for thought (food for thought)
Listen people (I'm just feedin′)
Tryin' to tell ya (you some food for thought)
Food for thought (food for thought)
Woah, food for thought (food for thought)
Listen people (I′m just feedin')
Tryin' to tell ya (you some food for thought)
Tryin′ to tell ya, tryin to tell ya
A little food for thought (I′m just feedin')
