Merry Clayton - What is Success? lyrics

How does one decide That the methods he's using, they just won't jive Trulybelieving and trying over and over again Living in hopes that someday you'll be in with the winners When should one change his mind And jump the fence, oh lord, for the dollar sign It's a sad thing, it's a bad thing, but so necessary That this cold world holds your values to become monetary Now what, what, what, what is success Is it doing your thing, or do you join the rest Ah If you truly believe should you try over and over again And live in hopes that someday you'll be in with the winners Repeat first verse with small change How does one decide That the tactics he's using, they just won't jive Trulybelieving and trying over and over again Living in hopes that someday you'll be in with the winners
