Des'ree - You Gotta Be 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
Read 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

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 try to
The best part is 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

    ❤️ Indonesia

  58. B.... P....

    If you listen closely to the music this is where Neyo got the idea to make the song meant to be for TLC

  59. B.... W....

    Coming from a fan of rock music, this song is amazing.

  60. J.... S....

    This song is great, was re-released due to the ford focus advert with Colin Mcrae

  61. D.... B....

    One of my absolute favorite songs growing up in the 90s😊 I remember learning this song in music class.

  62. A.... S....

    Schooled sent me here

  63. K.... h....

    For all my struggles in life may i be blessed and stregthened 😍💕😍

  64. S.... J....

    This song always helped me when I was really little. We went on a lot of road trips and my parents fought everywhere all the time. It would always play at the perfect moment when they'd stop fighting and be in a sad bitter silence. Her voice was like a hug when I needed it.

    S.... J....

    That is beautiful...I'm sure God sent those hugs. Wish I could hug you right now. Thank you for sharing that 😊

  65. P.... ....

    That guitar in the beginning defined the 90's

  66. D.... P....

    February 2019

  67. J.... A....

  68. �.... A....

    so cool...

  69. J.... P....

    Who is listening in February 2020?

  70. C.... M....

    1. No swearing
    2. No nakedness
    3. No fancy graphical set up
    Simply written music with a good message and good intention. Why can we not have more artists today do this? It surely cannot be that difficult can it

  71. P.... P....

    What women want:

    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

    You gotta be high
    You gotta be rich
    You gotta be educated

    You gotta be experinced
    You gotta be big 😉
    You gotta be a model

    You gotta be .....


    No fucking wonder it's hard to live up to you women.

    P.... P....

    Lol! I bet you'll be all those things to the right one 😁

    P.... P....
