The O'Jays— You Won't Fail Lyrics (1980)
(Aah-aah-aah, woo-ooh)
In all our lives, there's ups and downs and changes
Our best made plans, life can rearrange them
We must try, to roll with the punches
Oh, the bottom lines, do all you can you do
'Cause the rest truly, ain't nothing new, so just
Do your best, take your time, do it right
(Oh, if you know how do it and you)
You won't fail, (no)
And there are times, (you can win but lose it)
When all the odds seem,
(Seem like they're against you)
But surely, surely as long as you're breathing
Hey, then you got a chance, to make your stand
'Cause it's never in your hands, so just
Do your best, take your time, do it right
(Oh, if you know how to do it and you)
You won't fail, (no, no)
(You won't fail, no, you won't fail)
(Aah-aah-aah, woo-ooh)..
(Aah-aah-aah, woo-ooh)..
We must learn,
(To take the bitter with the sweet)
Is just test the test,
(A test to see how we will be)
Still we find, struck sometimes in our defeat
So when you really lose, it only shows
That we're not in control, so just
Do your best, take your time, do it right
(Oh if you know how to do it and you)
You won't fail, (no, no, oh, you just, you just)
Do your best, take your time, do it right
You won't fail, (no, no)
(No you won't, no you won't, hey)
Some of us know about the bitter
And some might know about the sweet
We gotta make our stand,
And you can't be weak
Lookie here, we gotta take our time,
So don't you get weak, do your best child,
'Cause it's all a part of the test
And we go around saying
Go-oo, (well), go-oo, (well)..
Go-oo, (go, well, well, well)..
Listen children,
Do all you can, do all you can do
And you will always get, what's comin' to you
So just take your time, and spread a little love
And I know you'll be blessed
By the man above, and saying go-oo
Go-oo, go-oo, go-oo..
Go-oo, go-oo, go-oo..
