I Don’t Need to Prove Myself Lyrics by The Sylvers

The Sylvers II

1973

I don't need to prove myself
I don't need to prove myself
As I sit here in my golden yellow dreams
I dwell upon the river at life or so it seems
(so it seems)
But while I sit here in my golden yellow dreams
My mind balance over your head beyond your schemes
(beyond your schemes)
To reel the world of a better man
Through jealousy
But there's always one who can do
Much better than you
Ooooh
And there's always one who with a man
Better than give a helping hand
Just at times I feel like kicking off my shoes
And take a long rest
I don't need to prove myself (to prove myself)
To you (to you)
To me (to me)
At times I feel like kicking off my shoes
And take a long rest
I don't need to prove myself (to prove myself)
Just take a rest for life
I don't mean respecting life is what I need
I need a couple things to fills my life with greed
(life with greed)
One puts a price tag on whatever sells a bid
And raise the price of bills that leads at barrel wheel
(barrel wheel)
And they ruin the world of the golden mind
Through robbery
But there's always one who can do
Much better than you
Ooooh
And there's always one who with a man
Better than give a helping hand
Just at times I feel like kicking off my shoes
And take a long rest
I don't need to prove myself (to prove myself)
To you (to you)
To me (to me)
At times I feel like kicking off my shoes
And take a long rest
I don't need to prove myself (to prove myself)
Just take a rest for life
(I don't need to prove myself, just take a rest for life)
(I don't need to prove myself) just take a rest for life, yeah, yeah
(I don't need to prove myself) just take a rest for life
(I don't need to prove myself)
Just take a rest for life, yeah, yeah
(I don't need to prove myself) just take a rest for life
(I don't need to prove myself) ooooh
(I don't need to prove myself) well, well
(just take a rest for life)
(I don't need to prove myself) well, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Just take a rest for life)
(I don't need to prove myself) ooooh
(Just take a rest for life)
(I don't need to prove myself) well
(Just take a rest for life) well, well, well, well
(I don't need to prove myself)
(Just take a rest for life)
