Lyrics[]
- I'm talking 'bout you
- I'm talking 'bout me
- Long time back when the galaxy was new
- Man found out what he had to do
- Found he had to eat and he found he had to drink
- And a long time later he found he had to think
- Uh huh
- Yes, think
- I'm standing here wondering
- What?
- If a man tells another man out of my way
- He piles up trouble for himself all day
- But all kinds of trouble come to an end
- When a man tells another man be my friend
- Uh huh
- My friend
- Well, what's it going to be?
- There's a mile wide emptiness between you and me
- Can't reach across it, hardly even see
- Someone ought to take a step one way or other
- Let's say goodbye or let's say brother
- Brother
- Brother
- Hey out there
- Hey out there
- Hey out there
- Hey out there
- I see you
- I see you
- I see you
- I see you
- Let's get together and have some fun
- I don't know how to do it, but it's got to be done
