You’ve Got To Earn It The Temptations

[Intro: The Temptations]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks & (The Temptations)]
To get stones from a rock, you've got to break it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To get bread from dough, you've got to bake it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks & (The Temptations)]
To get water from a faucet, you've got to turn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You've got to earn it (Earn it, earn it, earn it)

[Post-Chorus: The Temptations]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks & (The Temptations)]
To get fire from a match, you've got to strike it
(Strike it, strike it, strike it, strike it)
To get the feeling from a kiss, you've got to like it
(Like it, like it, like it, like it)

[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & (The Temptations)]
To get ashes from wood, you've got to burn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You've got to earn it (Earn it, earn it, earn it)
