Lyrics Solange Knowles – 6 O’Clock Blues

Verse 1:
If my house flowed down in the river
If all of these walls tumbled down in the storm
If this war took all of my money, all of my pride

Hook:
As long as we got each other
There’s nothing in the world that can steal my joy
Yeah, as long as we got each other
We can overcome the many’s of the world

Chorus:
‘Cause people don’t make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing,
Baby I know got you
Yeah, you keep me sheltered through the six o’clock blues
And if I know one things gonna be alright
Then I know that it’s me and you (oh, oh)

Verse 2:
So they say we’re running out of time,
Running out of water,
Running out of light
There are far too many problems
And just not enough answers
But if we keep asking they’ll gon’ tell us what we like

Hook:
Oh, but as long as we got each other
There’s nothing in the world that can steal my joy
As long as we got each other (we can overcome)
We can overcome the many’s of the world

Bridge:

Chorus:
‘Cause people don’t make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing,
Baby I know got you
You keep me sheltered through the six o’clock blues
Yeah, you keep me sheltered from the six o’clock
Yeah, you keep me sheltered, sheltered, sheltered, sheltered
Baby from- and if I know one thing’s gonna be all right
I know that I got my baby

Like the birds that live in the sky
We’ll never have to worry
But somehow we’ll get by
Let’s come together
We can make it alright
Want the world to love each other
Just like you and I

Oh, people don’t make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I go to ne thing
Baby, I know I got you
Yeah, you keep me sheltered from the 6 o’clock blues
Yeah, and if I know one things gonna be alright
Then I know that it’s me and my beautiful baby
