When It Comes Down To It

Minnie Riperton


When it comes down to it and it's time I get it on 
Ain't no way to do it 
You can find yourself alone 
All you high falutin' ain't worth nothin' when you're old 
When it comes down to it 
Love will get you more than gold 
When it comes down to it 
When it comes down to it 

When it comes down to it 
There'll be dancin' in the night 
Cause now the fools who blew it will be hidin' from the light 
So mama tell your children not to feel so all alone 
Cause when it comes down to it 
He'll be there to take us home 

We can get back to the garden 
If we keep our karma high, yeah 
We were meant to love each other 
Like the birds wer meant to fly 

When it comes down to it 
There'll be dancin' in the night 
Cause now the fools who blew it will be hidin' from the light 
So mama tell your children not to feel so all alone 
Cause when it comes down to it 
He'll be there to take us home 

When it comes down to it
