The Finger Pointers Songtext
von David Ruffin

Mmm, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah, mmm

When you′re a winner
Everybody is on your side (On your side)
Claiming you made it
With the help they supply (They supply)
But when you lose, they swear
You did it on your own
They like to save their necks, ha
And let you take the rap alone

You're the one who did it, they all claim
The finger pointers (Look at ′em, look at 'em)
See the way they cop out of the blame
The finger pointers (Ooh, yeah yeah yeah, mmm)


When you're a winner
Everybody is taking vows (Taking vows)
Patting their backs and claiming
They all taught you how (Taught you how)
But when you lose, you′ll find
Before the ship goes down
They′ll all jump overboard, yes they will
And stand around and watch you drown

You're the one who did it, they all claim
The finger pointers (Look at ′em, look at 'em)
See the way they cop out of the blame
The finger pointers (Ooh, yeah)

But when you lose, they swear
You did it on your own
They like to save their necks
And let you take the rap alone

You′re the one who did it, they all claim
The finger pointers (Look at 'em, look at ′em)
See the way they cop out of the blame
The finger pointers (Oh)
You're the one who did it, they all claim
The finger pointers (I'm talking about, yeah)
See the way they cop out of the blame
The finger pointers (Everybody′s taking vows)
