I'm Still A Struggling Man - Edwin Starr

You better stop fooling if you want to get along with me

We grew up on the block and we know about poverty

So, tell all your high-falutin' friends we just can’t compete

It’s only been a little while and I just got on my feet

And I’m still a struggling man

Doing the best that I can

I can only take it, girl, I can only make it, girl

Long as you, you understand that baby

Stop your complaining 'cause I’m aiming to make the gray

Forget those social plans, I’m the man and this is my parade

Why should we prove to Mr. Jones that we’re doing fine?

He’ll find out soon enough so let’s not pay him no mind

And I’m still a struggling man

Doing the best that I can

I can only take it, girl, I can only make it, girl

Long as you, you understand, yeah

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

I know we can make it girl but I need the love you kill

You just compared today to the way we used to live

Those good times just won’t come unless we struggle and fight

As long as you love me, girl, I know everything’s alright

I’m still a struggling man

Doing the best that I can

I can only take it, girl, I can only make it, girl

Long as you, you understand

I’m still a struggling man

Doing the best that I can

Take it, girl, make it, girl

Long, try and understand it, yeah

I’m still a struggling man

Doing the best that I can

I can only take it, girl, I can only make it, girl
