Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When it comes down to it and it's time to get it on
Ain't no way to do it if you find yourself alone
'Cause all your high falutin' ain't worth nothing where you're old
When it comes down to it, love will get you more than gold
[Verse 2]
When it comes down to it
Ah, when it comes down to it
[Verse 3]
When it comes down to it, there'll be dancin' in the night
'Cause while 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
[Verse 4]
We can get back to the garden
If we keep our karma high, yeah
We were meant to love each other
Like the birds were meant to fly
[Verse 5]
When it comes down to it, there'll be dancin' in the night
'Cause while 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
[Verse 6]
We can get back to the garden
If we keep our karma high, yeah
We were meant to love each other
Like the birds were meant to fly
[Verse 7]
When it comes down to it
Ah, when it comes down to it
When it comes down to it, yeah, yeah, yeah
When it comes down to it
When it comes down to it
Ah, when it comes down to it, hey, yeah, yeah
When it comes down to it
