Gotta Be

Des'ree

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

Ya gotta be...
Ya gotta be bad,
Ya gotta be bold, ya gotta be wiser,
Ya gotta be hard, ya gotta be tough,
Ya gotta be stronger
Ya gotta be cool, ya gotta be calm,
Ya gotta stay together
All I know, all I know,
Is love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Tryin' to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view,
My oh my...

Ya gotta be...
Ya gotta be bad,
Ya gotta be bold, ya gotta be wiser,
Ya gotta be hard, ya gotta be tough,
Ya gotta be stronger
Ya gotta be cool, ya gotta be calm,
Ya gotta stay together
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 pain
The world keeps on spinning
Can't stop it if you try to
The best part is danger's starin' you in the face

Well listen as your day unfolds
Try and keep your head up the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears

Ya gotta be bad,
Ya gotta be bold, ya gotta be wiser,
Ya gotta be hard, ya gotta be tough,
Ya gotta be stronger
Ya gotta be cool, ya gotta be calm,
Ya gotta stay together
All I know, all I know,
Is love will save the day

Ya gotta be bad,
Ya gotta be bold, ya gotta be wiser,
Ya gotta be hard, ya gotta be tough,
Ya gotta be stronger
Ya gotta be cool, ya gotta be calm,
Ya gotta stay together
All I know, all I know,
Is love will save the day

Got to be bold, got to be bad,
Got to be wise, don't even say
Got to be hard, never too hard
Love will save the day
Ya gotta be bad,
Ya gotta be bold, ya gotta be wiser,
Ya gotta be hard, ya gotta be tough,
Ya gotta be stronger
Ya gotta be cool, ya gotta be calm,
Ya gotta stay together
Ya gotta be bad,
Ya gotta be bold, ya gotta be wiser,
Ya gotta be hard, ya gotta be tough,
Ya gotta be stronger
Ya gotta be cool, ya gotta be calm,
Ya gotta stay together
