Eddie Kendricks - I've Got To Be

Talked to my friend again today
Forty days and forty nights It rained all over the world
To be exact [to be exact]
sinners played and disobeyed the
Word coming down, that's a fact [that's a fact]
Some people take it for a joke they can't understand They nailed
Our Saviour to the cross
But he told them all
He'd rise again, rise again! I talked to my friend again today
This is what he had to say:
You're going up in smoke going up in smoke going up in smoke and we ain't got no hope we're going up in smoke
I talked to my friuend again today
This is what he had to say:
You're going up in smoke going up in smoke going up in smoke and we ain't got no hope ‘cause we're going up in smoke!....
I talked to my friend again today don't be afraid by what I say don't wait ‘till
Judgement Day to start to pray… stop the hey! killing now
We'll all have to go anyhow
Everyone's having tons of fun
Who's gonna take the blame?
He let His Son get close to earth
So we all go up In bright of day In bright of day
I talked to my friend again today
This is what he had to say:
You're going up in smoke, going up in smoke, going up in smoke, and we ain't got no hope ‘cause we're going up in smoke!....
You're going up in smoke, going up in smoke, going up in smoke, and we ain't got no hope ‘cause we're going up in smoke!
Oh, I talked to my friend today….
Music break
Everybody's having tons of fun
Who's gonna take the blame?
He let His Son Come to earth
So we all go up In bright of day
In bright of day
I talked to my friend again today
This is what he had to say:
You're going up in smoke, going up in smoke, going up in smoke, and we ain't got no hope ‘cause we're going up in smoke!....
You're going up in smoke, going up in smoke, going up in smoke, and we ain't got no hope, ‘cause we're going up in smoke! I talked to my friend today….
going up in smoke, going up in smoke, going up in smoke, and we ain't got no hope, ‘cause we're going up in smoke!
going up in smoke, going up in smoke, going up in smoke, and we ain't got no hope, ‘cause we're going up in smoke! going up in smoke, going up in smoke, going up in smoke, and we ain't got no hope, ‘cause we're going up in smoke!
Going, going…

Going, ooohh, yeah…
Everyone's having tons of fun….
Who's gonna take the blame?...
Chorus: (Repeat x 5)
going up in smoke, going up in smoke, going up in smoke, and we ain't got no hope, ‘cause we're going up in smoke!
