Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest on tenderness
The nest is yo' home and launchin' pad
Vibes ain't good, hey, gotcha' feelin' sad
Build a nest on love that tells it all
Give you the strength to walk proud and tall
With a song in yo' heart most every day
Is what you need along the way
Things get rough, pain comes around
Put up yo' dukes, knock it to the ground
Now if it gets back up, do it over 'gain
Smack it hard on the chinny-chin-chin
Now things around you can't do you no harm
Think about love in yo' happy home
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest on tenderness
The nest is yo' home and launchin' pad
Vibes ain't good, hey, gotcha' feelin' sad
Build a nest on love that tells it all
Give you the strength to walk proud and tall
With a song in yo' heart most every day
Is what you need along the way
Things get rough, pain comes around
Put up yo' dukes, knock it to the ground
Now if it gets back up, do it over 'gain
Smack it hard on the chinny-chin-chin
Now things around you can't do you no harm
Think about love in yo' happy home
