We Need to Go Back - Dionne Warwick

Ain’t nobody got nothing good to say

And if it ain’t a dirty game nobody wants to play (nobody wants to play)

Shoot him up, bag him up, stick him up, get away

And I read in the newspaper, things are getting worse everyday

Oh-oh, we need to go back

(We need to go back)

Back to the songs we used to sing

We need to go back

(We need to go back)

When we would share a little bit (of everything) everything

And if that don’t do it (pray)

Or pull us through it (pray)

And you don’t know a better way (pray)

Maybe we need to (pray)

We need to pray (pray)

We need to pray, yeah

Everybody’s got a surprise in store for you

You ask 'em where they’re coming from

They tell ya where they’re going to

Just trip the fool

Play it cool

Break the rules

You’ll get by

And they swear

On the Bible, it’s the truth

When they know it’s a lie

Oh-oh, we need to go back

(We need to go back)

Back to (the songs we used to sing) we used to sing

We need to go back

(We need to go back)

To when we shared a little bit of everything

And if that don’t do it (pray)

Or pull us through it (pray)

And you don’t know a better way (pray)

Maybe we need to (pray)

Pray (pray)

We need to, we need to pray (pray)

And if that don’t do it (pray)

Or pull us through it (pray)

And you don’t know a better way (pray)

Maybe we need to…
