When I was a young man my daddy told me 
A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago 
If you want to have someone to hold onto 
You're gonna have to learn to let go 

Chorus 
You got to sing like you don't need the money 
Love like you'll never get hurt 
You got to dance like nobody's watchin' 
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work 

Now here is the one thing that I keep forgetting 
When everything is falling apart 
In life as in love, what I need to remember 
There's such a thing as trying too hard 

Chorus
