"We are magic," he said
But don't let it all go to your head
Cause I bet if you all had it all figured out
Then you'd never get out of bed
No doubt
Of all the things that I've read what he wrote me
Is now sounding like the man I was hoping
To be
I keep on keeping it real
Cause it keeps getting easier, he'll see
He's the reason that I'm laughing
Even if there's no one else
He said, you've got to love yourself
You say, you shouldn't mumble when you speak
But keep your tongue up in your cheek
And if you stumble on to something better
Remember that it's humble that you seek
You got all the skill you need
Individuality
You got something
Call it gumption
Call it anything you want
Because when you play the fool now
You're only fooling everyone else
You're learning to love yourself
Yes you are, you are, it's you...
There's no price to pay (no, no)
When you give and what you take
That's why it's easy to thank you
You, you...
You, you, you...
Let's say take a break from our day
And get ['n] back to the old garage
Because life's too short anyway
But at least it's better then average
As long as you got me
And I got you
You know we've got a lot to go around
I'll be your friend
Your other brother
Another love to come and comfort you-oo-oo
And I'll keep reminding
If it's the only thing I ever do-oo-oo
I will always love you
You, you, you...
You...
(It's true I love, it's true)
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love)
(It's true I love, it's true I love, its true, it's you I love)
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love) Oh it's you, it's you I love
Oh, it's you I love
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love) Oo, it's you I love...
(It's true I love, it's true I love, its true, it's you I love)
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love) I'm in love in love in love
I'm in love in love in love with you, I'm love with you
It's you I love, I love, I love
It's you I love, I love, I love
It's you I love, I love, I lo-ove, ooh
Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control and inevitably wind up fighting for yourself
All the strengths you have inside still rising
Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control and inevitably wind up
And find out for yourself
All the strengths that you have inside of you
