Robert Palmer

(andy fraser)
Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he cant be bought
Ooh it takes every kinda people
To make what lifes about, yeah
Every kinda people
To make the world go round
Someones looking for a lead
In his duty to a king or to a creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life
Theres no profit in deceit
Honest men know that

Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every mans the same inside
It takes every kinda people
To make what lifes about, yeah
It takes every kinda people

Doo doo doo......
You know that loves the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul

He wants the sunshine in his name
It takes every kinda people
To make what lifes about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go round
