The Joneses

[Verse 1]

He just copped a Bentley

Now, there's jealousy and envy

In your eyes when there shouldn't be (Hey)

'Cause he worked hard for his shit

So he should be able to get

Whatever he see fit (Whatever)

[Pre-Chorus]

How you gon' live your life based around (Yeah)

What someone else is doing now? (Oh)

Got too much free time on your hands

Concerned about who's doing

What, when, where and for how long

To then go and jump right on the phone (Calling)

Make and paint a news report

That's why you keep coming up short

[Chorus]

One day, you're gonna get enough of

Trying to keep up with the Joneses

So concerned about what they do

When you should just do you (Hey, yeah)

You're gonna get enough of

Trying to keep up with the Joneses (Yes, you are)

So concerned about what they do

When you should just do you

[Verse 2]

She just got a new kid

Making so much paper, it's stupid

And you question how she do it, oh (Uh-huh)

Well, you too could get paper

If you'd just stop being a hater

Then, you'll buy and get your waiter, oh (Hey)

[Pre-Chorus]

How you gon' live your life based around (Oh)

What someone else is doing now?

Got too much free time on your hands

Concerned about who's doing (Ooh)

What, when, where and for how long

To then go and jump right on the phone

Make and paint a news report

That's how you keep coming up short

[Chorus]

One day, you're gonna get enough of

Trying to keep up with the Joneses (Hey, yeah)

So concerned about what they do

When you should just do you (Why don't you do you? You're...)

You're gonna get enough of

Trying to keep up with the Joneses (Why you keep on trying?)

So concerned about what they do (Oh)

When you should just do you

[Bridge]

When are you ever gonna learn?

Sometimes, you've gotta wait your turn

'Cause everyone can't go through the door at the same time

You're gonna drive yourself insane

Trying to stay up on everything

They have nothing to do with you

[Chorus]

(One day)

One day, you're gonna get enough of

Trying to keep up with the Joneses (Ooh)

So concerned about what they do (They do, when you)

When you should just do you (Do you know what I'm talking about?)

You're gonna get enough of (Get enough of trying)

Trying to keep up with the Joneses (Ooh)

So concerned about what they do (They do)

When you should just do you (Oh, oh, oh)

One day, you're gonna get enough of (Trying)

Trying to keep up with the Joneses (To keep up with 'em)

So concerned about what they do ('Bout what they do)

When you should just do you (You)

You're gonna get enough of (Should not)

Trying to keep up with the Joneses (Keep up)

So concerned about what they do (Joneses)

When you should just do you
