Don't Let the Joneses Get You Down (Mono) [Single Version]
作詞：Barrett Strong, Norman Whitfield
Ow, people gather round me, it's to whom it may concern
I'm not trying to run your life but you're never too old to learn
Stop worrying about your neighbors and the fancy things they got
'Cause if you do you'll find it sure you're gonna wind up on the spot, ow
Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses
Just get you down, oh down, one more time
Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses
Just get you down, oh down
Oh, you may not believe it but nine times out of ten it's true
The people you're trying to keep up with are trying to keep up too
Remember that old saying, 'All that glitters ain't gold'
Take heed, don't ignore it until your money time will hold
Ow, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses
Just get you down, oh down, hear me now, now
Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses
Just get you down, oh down
You're lying to yourself but you don't even know it
You're so busy following the Joneses you ain't got time to show it
Keeping up with the Joneses as it will make your life a mess
Bill collectors, tranquilizers and getting deeper in debt
You better leave the Joneses alone, tell 'em one more time
You better leave, oh leave the Joneses alone
Joneses got a new car today, here's what you should say
Hooray for the Joneses
Instead you worry till your whole head turns gray

Worry about the Joneses
Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay
So leave Jo-Jo-Joneses alone
Listen your car might be old but remember it never fails
To get you where you wanna go
Oh, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses
Get you down, oh down, hear me now, now
Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses
Just get you down, oh down
You're doing fine
Don't let the Joneses get you down
Now listen, if you see something you want
And you know you can't afford it
The very next thing for you to do is start saving towards it
The Joneses are one in town for how many persons you see
So people take my advice and let the Joneses be, ow
Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses
Get you down, oh down, hear me now, now
Don't let the Joneses, don't let the Joneses
Don't let the Joneses, get you down, oh down
You're doing fine
Don't let the Joneses get you down
You're doing fine
Don't let the Joneses get you down
