You Gotta Be

You Gotta Be - Des'ree

Listen as your day unfoldes

Challenge what the future holds

Try and keep your head up to the sky

Lovers' 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

Herald what your mother said

Readin' the books your father 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

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

Don't ask no questions' it goes on without you

Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace

The world keeps on spinning

You can't stop it' if you try to

This time it's danger staring you in the face

Oh oh oh

Listen as your day unfoldes

Challenge what the future holds

Try and keep your head up to the sky

Lovers' they may cause you tears

Go ahead release your fears

My oh my heh' hey

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

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

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
