Lyrics

4 People Do Good

You can't always be the strange one
I'm spending you without a hope
For one

Pride in yourself into it
If you don't wanna stay
Go out into the light
You'll be better off that way

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
Send me downstairs

You stand there, you stand there
Watch him wonder
If he's wondering about the star

If he's wondering where they'll make him stay
If he doesn't want to stay
So you'll never be alone
Hey

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)

I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)
