Natalie Cole - Don't Look Back lyrics

rate me

Written by cole-yancy-allen

Everyday the population is growing and to find some peace of mind is something rare

Don't you get discouraged keep on going and don't you mind the way that the people turn and stare

Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty and tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good

Don't you know that the world is cold and filthyaw yes it isbut if you're a special child

They know sometimes you'll be misunderstood(you can never look back)

Yesterday is dead and gone(don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today

Keep on fightinga quitter never winshold your breath stick out your chin

Count to ten start againeverybody wants to be somebody

But they can't seem to see the forest for the treeswe just can't let our past

Hold back our futureohnonowhen it's all over but the shouting

Nothing is left but memorieslooks like you could use a little bit of happiness

Now I know that it's really hard to findbut you owe it to yourself to have the very best

And only a fool will try to catch up to what he has left behind(you can never look back)

Nono'cause yesterday is dead and gone(don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today

And when you're cryingyou need someone to hold on to

It's not the end of the world my friendtip your hatstart again

And keep a positive directionohkeep your vision straight ahead

You can't lose with the stuff you usewe've come too far just to turn aroundohoh

Don't you look backyesterday is dead and gone (don't you look back)

Your tomorrow is on the way and if you're fightingpeoplea quitter never wins

Hold your breath stick out your chincount to tenstart againdon't you look back

Nonouhoh(don't look back) no 'cause we've come much too far

Just to turn arounduhohoh(repeat don't you look back) don't you look back now

Yesterday is dead and gonedon't you look backyour tomorrow is here today

And when you're crying'cause all your friends have forsaken you

Its not the end of the world my friendjust tip your hat start again

Keep on steppin' yauldon't look backdon't turn your head around

Get upget out on the good footkeep on fightin' yeahhold your breath

Stick out your chincount to ten and start again don't try it

You got to keep on movin' yaulgetgetget up on the good foot
