(m. riperton r. rudolph)         When it comes down to it and it's time I get it on   Ain't no way to do it   You can find yourself alone   All you high falutin' ain't worth nothin' when you're old   When it comes down to it   Love will get you more than gold   When it comes down to it   When it comes down to it      When it comes down to it   There'll be dancin' in the night   Cause now the fools who blew it will be hidin' from the light   So mama tell your children not to feel so all alone   Cause when it comes down to it   He'll be there to take us home      We can get back to the garden   If we keep our karma high, yeah   We were meant to love each other   Like the birds wer meant to fly      When it comes down to it   There'll be dancin' in the night   Cause now the fools who blew it will be hidin' from the light   So mama tell your children not to feel so all alone   Cause when it comes down to it   He'll be there to take us home      When it comes down to it
