Song lyrics It's just a thought by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Itīs just a thought
But Iīve noticed somethinī strange,
Gettinī harder to explain;
All the years are passinī by and by,
Still I donīt know what makes it go;
Who said to wait and youīll see?
Itīs just a thought
But I wondered if you knew
That the song up there is you.
They canīt take it from you
If you donīt give it away;
Donīt give it away; Ooh (Itīs given away.)

Itīs just a thought
But the word has come too late
That a bad idea will take
Just about a lifetime to explain,
And donīt you see,
Good oneīs gonna be much longer;
Whoīs gonna wait, just to see?
