You Gotta Be – Des'ree lyrics

Listen as your day unfolds
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
Reading 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

Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
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, 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
