Same Old Thing Songtext
von Lisa Lisa

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I look around and this is what I see
People of different colors and personalities
So many faces, so many lives
It′s for them to choose how they wanna live their lives

How can you be wrong for being who you are?
That's all you can be
It′s gone way too far

When people say
"You're too black, you're too white"
"You′re all wrong, you′re not right"
It's the same ol′ thing (It's the same ol′ thing)
When people say
"You're not that, you′re not this"
"You're not much, you're not fit"
It′s the same ol′ thing
It's the same ol′ thing


Too many judges and no one's qualified
To change my lifestyle and keep me satisfied
Those that matter don′t judge
Those that judge don't matter
Think about what you say
More before than after

How can you be wrong for being who you are?
That′s all you can be
It's gone way too far

When people say
"You're no good, you′re no prize"
"You′re not the right type, you're not the right size"
It′s the same ol' thing (It′s the same ol' thing)
When people say
"You′re up too high, you're down too low"
"You talk too fast, you move too slow"
It's the same ol′ thing
It′s the same ol' thing

When people say
"Are you wrong for being right?"
Same ol′ thing sayin'
"You have no right to say what you wanna say"
"It shouldn′t matter if you're straight or gay"
Telling me how to live
Sounds like the same ol′ thing to me


How can you be wrong for being who you are?
That's all you can be
It's gone way too far

When people say
"You′re not all that, you′re not too tough"
"You're not for real, you′re not enough"
It's the same ol′ thing (It's the same ol′ thing)
When people say
"You're less than her, you're less than him"
"You can′t be down if you′re not with them"
It's the same ol′ thing (It's the same ol′ thing)
When people say
"You're too black, you′re too white"
"You're all wrong, you're not right"
It′s the same ol′ thing (It's the same ol′ thing)
When people say
"You're not that, you′re not this"
"You're not much, you′re not fit"
It's the same ol' thing
It′s the same ol′ thing, yeah

Telling me what to do
Telling me what to give
Telling me what to say
Telling me how to live
Telling me what to do (It's the same ol′ thing)
Telling me what to give
Telling me what to say (Ooh, same ol' thing)
Telling me how to live
Same ol′ thing, same ol' thing
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You′re not, you're not nothin'
Ooh, same ol′ thing
Just the same ol′ thing
