Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what your future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky...
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be challenged
Dont 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 is love will save the day

Herald what your mamma said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet mind
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my, hey 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 is 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 you can't stop it and if you try to
The best part is danger staring you in the face

Oh oh remember

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what your future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky...
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my, hey 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 is love will save the day. (x2)

Time asks no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world you can't stop it and if you try to
Yea yea ye ye yea

Fades out to you gotta be bad etc..

Natalie Cole

The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Marie Cole (February 6, 1950-December 31, 2015) was an R&B icon who was primarily active from 1956 until her death in 2015 due to congestive heart failure at age 65. She first rose to success in the mid-‘70s with Inseparable and Natalie and later spawning Grammy-recognized albums like Unforgettable…With Love, which took home Album of the Year.

Cole has nine Grammy Awards out of twenty-one nominations – only a small testament to her legend.
