You Gotta Be Songtext

von Patti Austin

Time asks no questions
It goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you cannot stand the pace
The world well it keeps on spinning
Can't stop it if you tried to
The best part is danger, staring you in the face
Ooh, listen as your days unfold
Challenge what your future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Well others they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Well herald what your mother said
Read the books your daddy read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view, my oh my, heh, hey, hey
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, got to be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
Well all I know, all I know, is love will save the day
Time asks no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
Can't stop it, if you tried to
The best part is danger staring you in the face
Listen as your days unfold
Challenge what your future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Others they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up, be counted, don't be ashamed to cry, no
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you got to be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know is love will save the day
Well I know, that I know, yeah
I know (there ain't no doubt in my mind)
Talking about love, ain't nothing like it
Talking about love
Talking about love will everyday
Talking about living your life in a loving way, yeah
Well L-O-V-E
Talking about you and me, I said love, real love, hey eh eh
You gotta be bad, got to be bold, gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, gotta be stronger
Got to be cool, gotta be calm, gotta stay together
All I know is love will save the day
Well, well, you gotta be bad
Yes you do, yes you do
Well you gotta be hard
Oh don't you know it's true
Say you gotta be cool
Don't you know who now baby
All I know is love's gonna save the day
Yes it don't matter what's going on with you
It don't matter well I know one thing is true, oh
If you're real bold, if you're real calm, if you stay together
