| Song | Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down |
| Artist | The Temptations |
| Album | Anthology |
| 作词 : Strong, Whitfield | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| You're doing fine | |
| Don't let the Joneses blow your mind |
