(slow)

It ain't necessarily so
No, it ain't necessarily so
These things that you're liable,
To read in the bible.
No it ain't necessarily so

(jammin')

You bet that you can't be wrong.
No place where you don't belong.
There's nothin' you don't know.
But it ain't necessarily so

To you there's never no doubt.
It's either in or it's out.
You sure put up quite a show.
But it ain't necessarily so

I said hold, let your bad self go.
Hold on, caus' you already know.

It's never maybe or might.
To you it's black or it's white.
If I say yes you say no.
But it ann's necessarily so

Hold on, let your bad self go.
Hold on, cause' you already know.

You think that you can't be wrong.
No place where you don't belong.
There's nothing' you don't know.
But it ain't necessarily so

Ain't necessarily so
Ain't necessarily so

No no no no
No it ain't necessarily so
No no no no
No no no no

No no no no
No it ain't necessarily so.
No no no no
No it ain't necessarily so.
