The Ones You Love letra

Children cry on the street
They don't have enough to eat
Mothers wait for days on end
A hopeless situation they can't mend

Is it good for you? Is it good for me?
I don't know how the world can sleep
It's just not right
To close the door turn out the light

They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love

Daddy waits there in line
A little work he hopes to find
Something wrong with times like these
It's enough to bring a man down to his knees

Is it good for you? Is it good for me?
Well I don't know how the world can sleep
It can't be right
To close the door turn out the light

They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love

They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love

Thinking of, thinking of the children
The children deserve some love
Thinking of, you better be think about the children
The children deserve our love

Better be, you better be, thinking of
They better be the ones you love
Better be, you better be, thinking of
Better be the ones you love, yeah yeah yeah

Is it good for you? Is it good for me?
I don't know how the world can sleep
It's just not right
To close the door turn out the light

They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love

They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love

They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
If no one else should ever get enough
They'd better be the ones you love

They'd better be the ones you love
The children ought to get some love
