LaBelle - Action Time Lyrics

Sitting around guessing, haven’t you learned you lesson,
Going straight to the end, don’t you know you’ll never win.
Can’t step back ’cause it’s time you lack,
If your trying to do what’s best for you,
We’re moving minds, it’s action time.
We’re moving minds, it’s action time!
Give it up!
Give it up!
Give it up!

hmm hmm hmm hmmm, hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm hmmm, hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm,
Hey hey hey-ay! Hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm.
Hmmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm, hmmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm.

{NOTE: "BOON-COON" is pronounced "boo-coo"}
Boon-coon buying, got your pockets crying,
Going left and right, moves like day and night.
It takes one to see what two can do,
We can make it get there, me and you.

We’re moving minds, it’s action time.
We’re moving minds, it’s action time!
We’re moving minds, it’s action time.
We’re moving minds, it’s action time!

Give it up!

Picking up pieces, is so plain.
Living on leases, sure is strange.
It takes one to see what two can do,
(One-to-see-what two can do, oh! )
We can make it get there, me and you.

Your gonna see, your gonna see!

Give it up!
Give it up!
Give it up!

We’re moving minds, it’s action time.
We’re moving minds, it’s action time!
We’re moving minds, it’s action time.
We’re moving minds, it’s action time!

Open up your mind and actualize what you see is true!
See the Earth for what it is , not what it means to you
Open up your mind and actualize what you see is true!
See the Earth for what it is , not what it means to you

We’re moving minds, it’s action time.
We’re moving minds, it’s action time!

Ooooooh-oh-oh, Ooooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Ooooooh-oh-oh, Ooooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay, hey-ay-ay-ay,
Hey-ay-ay-ay-ay, hey-ay-ay-ay!
Ooooooh-oh-oh, Ooooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Ooooooh-oh-oh, Ooooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
