Pick Somebody Up - Raul Midon, Metropole Orkest

I don’t wanna be nobody’s fool

And I don’t wanna take no one to school

I just wanna pick somebody up

I don’t wanna tell you how I live

I just wanna give what I have to give

Maybe it’ll pick somebody up

Smiling faces, warm embraces

Love is walking hand in hand

Revolution is no solution

To the tragedy of men, here’s my plan

Hope I can: pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Honey when you give your love to me

Together we can make some history

Maybe it’ll pick somebody up

Go along and get along and sell my soul

That’a ain’t a way this pappa rolls

When a little?

picks somebody up

Take a stranger, out of danger

Help someone to understand

That revolution is no solution

To the tragedy of men, here’s my plan

Hope I can: pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Why do you do it, why do you do it

Why do you do it, why do you do it

Some people ask me: why are you’re doing this thing

How come you’re playing music for people

Getting up early in the morning just to catch a plane, a bus or a train

Going insane, fanning a flame, so then why-

Is it for love?

Is it for self-expression?

Is it to combat depression?

Is it to make people happy?

I mean, I love it

I can hear it

I can listen when somebody smiles at me

When I’m happy, when I’m sad

When I’m surly, and when I’m glad

When that sunshine turns to rain

And I just can’t stand the pain

And I feel I’m going insane

Till I get back home again

When I think I can’t compete

And I just can’t find the beat

When I’m old, when I’m young

When my final saw this song

I shall hope we have some fun

Spreading love to everyone

So before I tip my cup

I just wanna pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Pick somebody up

Pick somebody up
