Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You gotta live
You gotta love
You gotta be somebody
You gotta shove
[Verse 2]
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down
[Verse 3]
You gotta eat
You gotta drink
You gotta feel something
You gotta worry
[Verse 4]
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down
[Verse 5]
But when it's good
It's really good
And when I hold you in my arms, baby
Sometimes I feel like going down
[Verse 6]
You gotta run
You gotta hide
You gotta keep your woman satisfied
[Verse 7]
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down
