Think for Yourself

Allan Felder, Norman Harris, Ron Tyson

[Intro: Louis Price]
Hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, well
Well, well

[Verse 1: Louis Price]
We're expecting miracles from the White House
Tell me, how much can one man do?
He's just trying to pull the world together
To make it better is up to me and you

[Pre-Chorus: The Temptations & Louis Price]
Your first [?] (Your first [?])
Is self-revelation from God (Is self-revelation from God)
Don't be led astray (Don't be led astray)
Believing it's somebody's job (Believing it's somebody's, oh, hey)

[Chorus: The Temptations & Louis Price]
Think for yourself (Think for yourself)
Stop depending on someone else (You've got to do)
To do your job for you (Don't you let 'em)
Oh, your job for you (I wish you would)
Think for yourself (Well, well)
Stop depending on someone else (Ooh, to do your)
To do your job for you (Don't you let 'em)
Do your job for you (Well)
Think (You've got to think)
Think (Aww)

[Verse 2: Louis Price]
Keeping up with the pace of the space age
Inventors drawing blueprints every day, yeah
Automation means conductive labor
Be prepared for whatever comes your way

[Pre-Chorus: The Temptations & Louis Price]
Educate your mind (Educate your mind)
'Cause you've still got time to pursue ('Cause you've still got time to pursue)
Any dream in mind (Any dream in mind)
It's your life, it's all up to you (It's your life, it's all up to you)

[Chorus: The Temptations & Louis Price]
Think for yourself (Think for yourself)
Stop depending on someone else (Well, well)
To do your job for you (Do your job)
Oh, your job for you (Do your job, do your job)
Think for yourself (Well, well)
Stop depending on someone else (To do your)
To do your job for you (Do your job)
Oh, your job for you (Do your job yourself now)
You'd better think (Stay in school)
Think (Don't be a fool)

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus: The Temptations & Louis Price]
Educate your mind (Educate your mind)
'Cause you've still got time to pursue (You've still got time to pursue)
Any dream in mind (Any dream in mind)
It's your life, it's all up to you (It's your life, it's all up to you, yeah)

[Chorus: The Temptations & Louis Price]
Think for yourself (Think for yourself)
Stop depending on someone else (Don't you let it)
To do your job for you (Do it yourself)
Oh, your job for you (Come on, come on)
Think for yourself (You've got to think)
Stop depending on someone else (Well, well, well, well)
To do your job for you (Do your job)
Oh, your job for you (Do your job, do your job)
Think (Stay in school)
Think (That's what I call being cool)
Think (Get out that line)
Think (Stop wasting time)
Aww, yeah

[Chorus: The Temptations & Louis Price]
Think for yourself (Think for yourself)
Stop depending on someone else (Stop depending on someone else)
To do your job for you (Do your job)
Oh, your job for you (Don't you let it)
Think for yourself (Well, well)
Stop depending on someone else (Well, well)
To do your job for you (Do your job)
Oh, your job for you (Do your job)

[Bridge: Louis Price & The Temptations]
Think
Think
Yeah, we've got to use our minds, yeah
I'm so tired of hearing the plea
That "I can't do this and that ain't me"
I don't want to hear
"That's what I could've done
That's what I should've done
That's what I would've done"
(Think) Well, well
(Think) Come on
(Stop and use your head) Woah, woah, woah
(Think) We've got to work
(Think) Got to use our minds
(Stop and use your head) Gotta get on up, stop wasting time

[Chorus: The Temptations & Louis Price]
Think for yourself (Come on)
Stop depending on someone else
To do your job for you (Do your job)
Oh, your job for you (Do your job)
Think for yourself (Come on now)
Stop depending on someone else (Well, well)
To do your job for you (Do your job)
Oh, your job for you (Do your job, do your job)
Think for yourself (Come on people)
Stop depending on someone else (We've got to work)
To do your job for you (Do our job)
Oh, your job for you (Stop depending on somebody else now)
