You doing all good things
You doing all good things
And you doing them now
Make me proud

Throughout all these movements
You got a good thing

No matter what the movement

Oooohh don't let it go

Well stocks are sold
Stocks are sold
Yeah well Stocks are sold

Yeah well, Never let it go
Stocks are sold

These things that I mention
May drown
Turn around, turn around, turn around
Yeah you gotta turn around
Turn around
Yeah you gotta turn around
Turn around

Yeah you gotta turn around
