Minnie Riperton
When It Comes Down To It
[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 you high falutin' ain't worth nothin' when you're old
When it comes down to it
Love will get you more than gold

When it comes down to it
When it comes down to it

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 2]
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
[Chorus]
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, hey

[Outro]
When it comes down to it, ah ooh-hoo
When it comes down to it, ah ooh-hoo, ah ooh-hoo
When it comes down to it, hey, hey, hey
When it comes down to it, ah ooh-hoo, ah ooh-hoo
When it comes down to it, ah ooh-hoo
When it comes down to it, ah hey, yeah
When it comes down to it, ah ooh-hoo, ah ooh-hoo
Ah ooh-hoo, ah ooh-hoo
Ah ooh-hoo
