Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down Lyrics - Temptations

People gather round me... This is to who it may concern 

I'm not tryin' to run your life but you're never too old to learn 

Stop worryin' about your neighbors and the fancy things they got 

'Cause if you do you'll find it's true, you're gonna wind up on the spot 

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down 

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down 

You may not believe it but nine times out of ten it's true 

The people you're tryin' to keep up with are tryin' to keep up too 

Remember that old sayin'; "All that glitters ain't gold" 

Take heed, don't ignore it, and to your money tightly hold 

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down 

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down 

You're a leader yourself but you don't even know it 

You're so busy followin' Joneses you ain't got time to show it 

Keeping up with the Joneses, it only makes your life a mess 

Bill collectors, tranquilizers and gettin' deeper in debt

You better leave the Joneses alone 

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 'til your whole head turns gray 

Worryin' about the Joneses 

Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay 

So leave (boom boom) the Joneses alone 

Your car might be old but, remember; It never fails to get you where you want to go 

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down 

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down 

You're doing fine 

Don't let the Joneses blow your mind 

If you see somethin' you want and you know you can't afford it 

Well the very next thing for you to do is start saving towards it 

The Joneses have been the downfall of many a person you see 

So, people, take my advice and let the Joneses be
