Things I Do for You (Live from the 1981 U.S. Tour) - The Jacksons

Written by：T. Jackson/J. Jackson/M. Jackson/R. Jackson

People all over the world

Are the same everywhere I go

I give in to this I give in to that

Every day it bothers me so

Am I in a bad situation

People take me to the extreme

Am I being used I just need a clue

I don't know which way to go

So I took my problems to a doctor

So he can check it out he don't know

Took it to a palm reader

So she can read my hand she don't know

Five minutes later I started to understand

And I started screamin' and shoutin' and acting mad

No one can help me but myself

But I gave everything

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

Always wanting something for nothing

Especially what they don't deserve

Reaching in my pocket I just got to stop it

Though they got a lot of nerve

Am I in a bad situation

People take me to the extreme

They don't use rejection

So I need protection to keep my equity

So I took my problems to a doctor

So he can check it out he don't know

I took it to a palm reader

So she can read my hand she don't know

Five minutes later I started to understand

And I started screamin' and shoutin' and actin' mad

No one can help me but myself

But I gave everything I had

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you

In return do the same for me
