Lyrics
TOO MANY PEOPLE THEY DON'T EVEN TRY, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
AND ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE, I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND
IF I'M GONNA MAKE IT, GOTTA TRY IF I'M GONNA TAKE IT BABY, THEN I WANT TO KNOW WHY
I'M SHOOTING FOR THE SKY I'M DOING ALL I CAN AND GETTING BY
TO MANY PEOPLE THEY DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THE TIME
AND ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE, I CAN'T EVEN LEND A HAND
I DON'T KNOW THERE REASONS, OR THEY'RE RHYMES
I GUESS IT'S THE SEASON MAMA, BUT I DON'T GOT THE TIME
I'M TAKING UP WHAT'S MINE, DON'T WORRY MOM YOU BOY IS DOING FINE
TO LEAVE IS TO LOVE ME, WELL YOUR LEAVING ALL THE TIME
YOU ALWAYS THINK OF ME, BUT RIGHT NOW HE'S ON YOUR MIND
YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME, BUT YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME
I TURN AROUND TO LEAVE WHAT DO I FIND
YOU UP AND CHANGE YOU MIND
TOO MANY PEOPLE THEY DON'T EVEN TRY, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
AND ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE, I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND
IF I'M GONNA MAKE IT, GOTTA TRY
IF I'M GONNA TAKE IT BABY, THEN I WANT TO KNOW WHY
I'M SHOOTING FOR THE SKY
I'M DOING ALL I CAN AND GETTING BY
