[Verse 1]
I was gonna cancel
Then I looked into the sky
And knew the bad news won't prevent the sun to shine
I was gonna cancel
Then took a sec to realize
All the disappointment that would trail behind
I was gonna cancel
Then you reminded me of who I am
Everything is clearer than a mirror is to woman
Just the same as a dog is to man

[Chorus]
Just hop out of the bed, (hey)
Go ahead face the day
Who cares what you know
Don't let that in the way no way
Shut out all the doubt, (hey)
Just get up and go
What's on the other side? (Yeah)
You will never know unless you
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go girl

[Verse 2]
I was gonna cancel
Then I thought about the strength that
I got from all of the prayers and what it meant
I was gonna cancel
Then I realized that time is just like money and love
Watch how you spend
I was gonna cancel
Until you reminded me of what I do
Now I see it clearer
My best friend is the mirror look behind me
And I see all the things I've been through

[Chorus]
Just hop out of the bed, (hey)
Go ahead face the day
Who cares what you know
Don't let that in the way no way
Shut out all the doubt, (hey)
Just get up and go
What's on the other side? (Yeah)
You will never know unless you
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go girl

[Bridge]
What's wrong with saying I love you?
It's nothing to kid about
Some people going through a struggle
Trying to scribble it out
They say attention is a shovel
It's time to dig 'em out
You can't just let them stay in a bubble
They'll pop to get it out

What's wrong with love, love?
What's wrong with love, love?

[Chorus]
Just hop out of the bed, (hey)
Go ahead face the day
Who cares what you know
Don't let that in the way no way
Shut out all the doubt, (hey)
Just get up and go
What's on the other side? (Yeah)
You will never know unless you
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go-o-o
Go, go, go, go girl

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
