You Gotta Be - Des'ree lyrics

rate me

Listen as your day unfolds<br />

Challenge what the future holds<br />

Try and keep your head up to the sky<br />

<br />

Lovers, they may cause you tears<br />

Go ahead, release your fears<br />

Stand up and be counted<br />

Don't be ashamed to cry<br />

<br />

You gotta be<br />

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold<br />

You gotta be wiser<br />

<br />

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough<br />

You gotta be stronger<br />

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm<br />

You gotta stay together<br />

<br />

All I know, all I know<br />

Love will save the day<br />

<br />

Herald what your mother said<br />

Reading the books your father read<br />

Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time<br />

<br />

Some may have more cash than you<br />

Others take a different view<br />

My, oh my, heh, hey<br />

<br />

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold<br />

You gotta be wiser<br />

<br />

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough<br />

You gotta be stronger<br />

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm<br />

You gotta stay together<br />

<br />

All I know, all I know<br />

Love will save the day<br />

<br />

Don't ask no questions<br />

It goes on without you<br />

Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace<br />

<br />

The world keeps on spinning<br />

You can't stop it if you try to<br />

This time it's danger staring you in the face<br />

<br />

Remember<br />

Listen as your day unfolds<br />

Challenge what the future holds<br />

Try and keep your head up to the sky<br />

<br />

Lovers, they may cause you tears<br />

Go ahead release your fears<br />

My, oh my, heh, hey, hey<br />

<br />

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold<br />

You gotta be wiser<br />

<br />

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough<br />

You gotta be stronger<br />

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm<br />

You gotta stay together<br />

<br />

All I know, all I know<br />

Love will save the day<br />

<br />

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold<br />

You gotta be wiser<br />

<br />

You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough<br />

You gotta be stronger<br />

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm<br />

You gotta stay together<br />

<br />

All I know, all I know<br />

Love will save the day
