(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
