From the recordings One Life and Some Lovin'
Lyrics
One thing is certain, one thing is clear
One thing is certain, I’ll tell you my dear
With everything, you’re gonna shed a tear
When you got nothing, there’s nothing left to fear
You want some lovin’, that’s plain to see
You want some lovin’, well obviously
But a coconut, doesn’t fall far from the tree
You take some seeds, you plant them, and you see
My momma told me, this is what she’d say
My momma told me, it’s gonna be this way
You find some lovin’, you’re gonna want to stay
And if you’re lucky, it’s gonna make your day
One thing is certain, one thing I know
One thing is certain, I know I told you so
What you do to me, it’s gonna have to show
You take some straw and you turn it into gold
You want some lovin’, that’s plain to see
You want some lovin’, well obviously
But a coconut, doesn’t fall far from the tree
You take some seeds, you plant them, and you see
One thing is certain, one thing I know
One thing is certain, I know I told you so
What you do to me, it’s gonna have to show
You take some straw and you turn it into gold
