Lyrics

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try
Try and try
Try and try
You'll succeed at last
That's right, man
Now listen
Trying hard, you must not fear
Win or lose you gonna get your share
You got your mind set on a dream
You can get it, though hard it may seem, now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try
Try and try
Try and try
You'll succeed at last
So you gotta put a lot of effort into things, man
And then you'll make it
Now listen to this
Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the harder the battle, you see
It's the sweeter the victory
(You can get it if you really want)
(You can get it if you really want)
(You can get it if you really want)
But you must try
Try and try
Try and try, now
You'll succeed at last
That's it!
You can get it if you really want
Yes, sir!
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try
Try and try
Try and try
You'll succeed at last
That's right
If you've got a little tiny dream
All you have to do
Is think about it
Work on it
Every day
And you'll get it, man!
(You can get it if you really want)
You understand?
(You can get it if you really want)
(You can get it if you really want)
You can get it if you really want
Oh, yeah!
You can get it if you really want
Sing along, now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
We're gettin' it, man
You can get it if you really want
