Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who drove the red sports car?
From the mansion
And laid upon the grass
In summertime?
[Verse 2]
And who done me out
High time fashion
And made me read
Between the lines?
And who said
[Verse 3]
"Follow the mind
It's your only chance
Sit on your throne
You gotta make it
On your own
On your own"?
[Verse 4]
And who said
"Look at you
Look at you
You got jam
On your face"?
[Verse 5]
And who did you homework?
And read your bible?
And signed your name?
Every place
And who said
[Verse 6]
Fortunes untold now
Don't go by gold
You're much better known
You gotta make it
On your own
On your own
Ah, ah, uh-huh
[Verse 7]
And do you remember?
Do you remember this time?
I said, "A long time ago"
When I came walkin' down
I came walkin' down
By Maggie's place
[Verse 8]
It started comin' on, rain
It started comin' on, rain
Course I had nothin' on but a shirt
And a pair of pants, and I was gettin' wet
I was gettin' wet
[Verse 9]
A-saturated, saturated, baby
And Maggie opened up the window
And James swung out a right arm
She said, "Hi"
I said, "Hi, how you doin', baby?"
[Verse 10]
She said, "Come on in out the rain
Come on in out the rain
Lord, come on in out the rain
Sit down by the fireside
And dry yourself"
[Verse 11]
Ah, ah-cha
Do it, do it
I got caught, I got caught, now, now
Got a bag, got a bag now
Oh, Lord
I said, "Don't mind if I do
Don't mind if I do"
That's a bag, hear me now, you know, you got a
You know, you sort of turn it upside down
Somethin' like, put it on a rack
Fold it, press it
Call it a record or somethin' like that
