I can't believe that I had never heard this record before. That was the late Sixties though, and it was easy for something with a real chance to sell to slip through the cracks. If it was never on the radio, and you didn't know anyone who had the record, or even knew about it, it had little chance.
My friend Juan shared it on FB today, and provided the lyrics for us to learn from.
'm the one who wants to be ahead
I stand in line and I'm behind instead
What is happenin', let me look around
Not a thing trying to hold me down
Now I know I got to look at me
Something's a little hard to see
Aah, aah
Don't blame your neighbourhood
You're the one
And your mama can't make you good
You're the one
Can't blame no argument
You're the one
Don't you know how to take a hint
You're the one
Your teacher can't teach you dumb
You're the one
But your pity can make you numb
You're the one
[Verse 2]
I'm the one my life has taught to fight
To turn around would never make it right
Inside out or outside in
The way you go depends on where you've been
I think I'm making it, I think I'm near
Then I realise I'm in the rear
Aah, aah
(I'm the one, you're the one)
You're the one
You're the one
Don't blame your neighbourhood
You're the one
And your mama can't make you good
You're the one
Can't blame no argument
You're the one
Don't you know how to take a hint
You're the one
Your teacher can't teach you dumb
You're the one
But your pity can make you numb
You're the one
You're the one
(I'm the one, you're the one)
You're the one
(I'm the one, you're the one)
Don't blame your neighbourhood
You're the one
And your mama can't make you good
You're the one
Can't blame no argument
You're the one
Don't you know how to take a hint
You're the one
Your teacher can't teach you dumb
You're the one
But your pity can make you numb
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
(You're the one)
