Be Your Own Shelter

You got to be your own shelter

Got to be your own shelter

Ooh ooh ooh

You got to be your own shelter

One day when I'm gone

Something might go wrong

I'll tell you

Is it any wonder the storm was bound to come

All the rain and the flood got us on the run

Baby I want to help you, but you got to be your own shelter

You got to be your own shelter

Ooh baby

Please know I'm going as fast as I can

When I'm trying to to get to you girl

You got to be your own shelter

With the floodwater coming

I just start running, baby running to you

Sink or swim, woman you're stronger than you know

Ain't no promise all this water will help you grow

Oh I'll get there when I can

But you don't need no man

You got to be your own shelter

You gotta be your own shelter

Ooh ooh ooh

I will never turn my back on you baby

Lend you a hand to pull you on dry land

Well I say if by chance I don't survive

I know that you're gonna be alright

Yeah you will

You got to be your own shelter

Got to be your own shelter

Oh baby yeah, I'll tell you

You got to be your own shelter

Yeah when the flood water coming

I just start running, running to you baby

Oh I'm coming to you baby

You got to be your own shelter

You got to be your own shelter

You got to be your own shelter
