Текст песни Thank You for Talkin' to Me Africa - Sly & The Family Stone

Lookin' at the devil
Grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin'
I begin to run

(Ooh) bullets start chasin'
(I got to friggin'...) I begin to stop
We begin to tussle
I was on top

Thank you, for lettin' me be myself again
I wanna thank you, for lettin' me be myself again

Stiff all in the collar
Fluffy in the face
(Chit, chat) chit-chat chatter tryin'
Oh, stuffy in the place

I wanna thank you for the party
I could never stay (I could never stay)
Many things are on my mind (many things on my mind)
Words in the way

Ooh-hoo-hoo, thank you for lettin' me be myself again (oh yeah)
Oh-ho, thank you, for lettin' me be myself again (hey! Yeah!)

Dance to the music
(Oh) all night long
(Everyday) everyday people
(Gonna try) sing a simple song

My ma-mama's so happy
Mama start to cry
Papa's still singin'
You can make it (you can make it) make it (try)

Hey, thank you, for lettin' me be myself again
I gotta thank you, for lettin' me be myself again (yeah yeah)

Flamin' eyes of people fear
Burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much
Hatin' what they do

Youth and truth are makin' love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take
Sellin' out is harder

Thank you, for lettin' me be myself again
Thank you, for lettin' me be myself again (hey!)

Thank you, for lettin' me be myself again (I went back again, again)
I wanna thank you, for lettin' me be myself again (roll back, roll back, roll back)

Thank you, for lettin' me be myself again
(Well...) let 'em fly (yeah) let 'em fly
Thank you, for lettin' me be myself again (huh, I got this)

Thank you, for lettin' me be myself again (ay, yeah)
Thank you, for lettin' me be myself again
