can't strain my brain

Singer: sly & the family stone

i can't strain my brain

i know how it feels to worry all the time

i can't take the pain

i know how it feels to worry over

just a dime

yes

i guess it was me

for us to guess

that we're gonna have to be free

keep on runnin'

when you feel her

pullin' back you're goin' strong

don't stop runnin' if you're real

you'll never slack

you got to go on

yes

i guess it was me

for us to guess

that we're gonna have to be free

can't strain my brain

when i feel somebody tryin' to bring me down

won't take the rain

don't you know you'll never catch me lyin' down

can't bust a man

if he feels he makes it easier to see

can't trust a man

and trust can take the lovin' out of me yeah

yes pleasure was made

for us to see

guess

that were just gonna have to be free

can't strain my brain

can't take the rain

damn this pain

you don't remain
