Sesame Street - Figure It Out lyrics

Roosevelt Franklin: When I woke up this morning, first I laughed and then I cried. Was I feeling good or bad? I just could not decide! So naturally I asked my mom to tell me how I feel. But she didn't tell me that; instead, she told me something real: She said, "A mom can tell you lots of things, like one and one is two. And how to cross a busy street and how to tie your shoe. But the one who knows the things you feel is you and nobody else. I can't tell you how you feel; you have to tell yourself, so figure it out!" Girls: Figure it out! Roosevelt Franklin: Figure it out! Girls: Figure it out! Roosevelt Franklin: You're the only one who knows the things you feel, so figure it out! Girls: Figure it out! Oooh! Oooh! Roosevelt Franklin: I had a friend who lived next door, but his family had to move. It made me mad, or made me sad, or made me just confused. So naturally I asked my friend to look inside my head And tell me how I really felt, but he told me this instead: He said, "A friend can do a lot of things that no one can do better, Like give a friend a friendly hug or write a friendly letter. But the one who knows the way you feel is you and nobody else. A friend can't tell you how you feel; you have to tell yourself, so figure it out!" Girls: Figure it out! Roosevelt Franklin: Figure it out! Girls: Figure it out! Roosevelt Franklin: You're the only one who knows the things you feel, so figure it out! Girls: Figure it out! Roosevelt Franklin: Figure it out! Girls: Figure it out! Roosevelt Franklin: You're the only one who knows the things you feel, so figure it out! (Possibly all of them hum, then all sing last line:) Roosevelt Franklin and Girls: You're the only one who knows the things you feel, so figure it out!
