i'm still a struggling man

starr, edwin

you better stop fooling if you want to get along with me

we grew up on the block and we know about poverty

so

tell all your high-falutin' friends we just can't compete

it's only been a little while and i just got on my feet

and i'm still a struggling man

doing the best that i can

i can only take it

girl

i can only make it

girl

long as you

you understand that baby

stop your complaining 'cause i'm aiming to make the gray

forget those social plans

i'm the man and this is my parade

why should we prove to mr. jones that we're doing fine?

he'll find out soon enough so let's not pay him no mind

and i'm still a struggling man

doing the best that i can

i can only take it

girl

i can only make it

girl

long as you

you understand

yeah

la la la. i know we can make it girl but i need the love you kill

you just compared today to the way we used to live

those good times just won't come unless we struggle and fight

as long as you love me

girl

i know everything's alright

i'm still a struggling man

doing the best that i can

i can only take it

girl

i can only make it

girl

long as you

you understand

i'm still a struggling man

doing the best that i can

take it

girl

make it

girl

long

try and understand it

yeah

i'm still a struggling man

doing the best that i can

i can only take it

girl

i can only make it
