Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest on tenderness

The nest is yo' home and launcin' pad
Vibes ain't good gotcha' feelin' sad

Build yo' nest on love that tells it all
Gives you the strength to walk mighty 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

If it get back up, do it over again
Smack it hard on it's chinny-chin-chin

Now things around you can't do you no wrong
Think about love in yo' happy home
