The Pointer Sisters — Friends Advice Dont Take It

[Intro] Listen to it, sort through it Contemplate it, but don't take it Uh-huh, uh-huh [Verse 1] They tell you he's not right for you Don't they think you know that, too? I know that he's not playing fair I've known it for years, I'm still here So do you think that I care? They say, "Go out and have some fun" "Go out," they say, "with other men" That sounds like a simple task But what do you do when no one asks Do you go out with his best friend? [Chorus] When it comes to friends' advice The following usually applies: Listen to it, sort through it Contemplate it, but don't take it (No, no) Don't take it (No, no) [Verse 2] After a month, I was tired of staying home I looked great, but so what? I was alonе See, the last time I listenеd to my friends I saw one of them walking down the street With my ex-man I know he is a naughty boy (Uh-huh) And that's exactly what I enjoy My friends could never ever handle him Which is the reason they don't understand [Chorus] When it comes to friends' advice The following usually applies: Listen to it, sort through it Contemplate it, but don't take it (No, no, don't you dare) Don't take it You've got to listen to it, sort through it Contemplate it, but don't take it (No, don't take it, no, no, no, no, no, no) [Bridge] My friends are trying to save my sanity (Sanity) I really do hear what they're telling me, oh-oh (Telling me) It's just too hard to take them seriously (Seriously) 'Cause girlfriends, they don't practice what they preach One of them's going with Jack the Ripper One of them's got a snob One never gets taken out to dinner One of them's got a slob One of them's got the bore of the year Another one's got a fool One's got a man who don't even care The other has one who's still in high school The rest are alone(Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) [Outro] Listen to it, sort through it Contemplate it, but don't take it (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) Don't take it (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) Listen to it, sort through it Contemplate it, but don't take it (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) Don't take it (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo) (Oh-oh oh yeah, woo)
