How do you know? The Lord won’t mind
Don’t play no ___3___ – he’s alright
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel – he’s alright
See for yourself – the Lord won’t mind

Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel – he’s alright
See for yourself – the Lord won’t mind
We’re gonna move right now
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel
