Mm mm mm mmmm Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, (I have no charity, no charity for me) Though I’ve the gift of prophecy, (I understand all mysteries, mysteries) And a faith that moves mountains, There ain’t no charity for me. Oh oh oh Mmmm Yeah, though I bestow allllllll my goods (I am nothing) To feed the poor, I give it all (until I’m nothing) Though I give my body to be burned, (Burned burned burned) It gets me nothing. (nowhere, no how) Oh oh oh Mmmm Charity suffers long, and stays kind; Charity’s got no room for envy Charity is what it is, it don’t vaunts itself, (no puffin, puffin, puffin) Oh oh oh Don’t misbehave, seek not your own (selfish, greedy, thieving, scheming) Don’t be easily provoked, think less evil; (selfish, greedy, thieving, scheming) Ohhhhhh Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, (I have no charity, no charity for me) Though I’ve the gift of prophecy, (I understand all mysteries, mysteries) And a faith that moves mountains, There ain’t no charity for me. Oh oh oh Mmmm When I was a child, I spoke as thee I thought as a child, understood nothing, see: When I became who I am, I put away childish things. (no charity for me, me, me) Oh oh oh Mmmm Now that glass is dark and dirty; but face to face know in part; (all I know, all I’m known as) I know nothing, nothing, nothing Oh oh oh Mmmm But my faith, my hope, and how to give charity. Oh oh oh Mmmm
