You Won't Fail - The O'Jays

You Won't Fail Lyrics

In all our lives, there's ups and downs and changes
Our best made plans, life can rearrange them
We must try to roll with the punches
Oh, the bottom line's, do all you can you do
'Cause the rest truly ain't nothing new, so just
Do your best (come on)
Take your time, (well, well)
Do it right (oh, if you know how do it and you)
You won't fail (no)
And there are times you can win but lose it
When all the odds seem (seems like they're against you)
But surely, surely as long as you're breathing
Hey, then you got a chance to make your stand
'Cause it's never in your hands, so just
Do your best

Take your time, do it right
Oh, if you know how to do it and (you won't fail) no, no, no
You won't fail, no
You won't fail
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ooh
Ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ooh
Ooh
We must learn, to take the bitter with the sweet
It's just the test, a test to see how we will be
Still we find strength sometimes in our defeat
So whenever we really lose, it only shows that we're not in control, so just
Do your best
Take your time, do it right
Oh, if you know how to do it and (you won't fail) no, no... Oh no
Ooh, you just, you just
Do your best
Take your time, do it right
Oh, if you know how to do it and (you won't fail) no
No, you won't, no you won't
Hey
Some of us know about the bitter
That some men know about the sweet
We gotta make our stand and you can't be weak
Lookie here, we gotta take our time, so don't you get weak
Do your best child, 'cause it's all part of the test
And we go around saying
Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Listen children, do all you can, do all you can do
And you will always get what's comin' to you
So just take your time and spread a little love
And I know you'll be blessed by the man above
And say whoa
Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
