Lyrics

When I was a little kid learning to swim
I didn’t want to get my kit off and get in
My daddy told me: ”Girl you’ll never win,
Standing around looking for a place to begin”
When it’s cold, you gotta be bold
When it’s cold, you gotta be bold
Now here’s the thing when you’re learning to swim
You gotta dive in, you gotta dive in
When I was older I got a pretty face in my heart
But hesitation served to keep us apart
Something told me I would have missed the arc
Standing around looking for a place to start
When it’s cold, you gotta be bold
When it’s cold, you gotta be bold
Now here’s the thing when you’re learning to swim
You gotta dive in, you gotta dive in
 
Now I’m all grown up and I get my boy after school
With a rolled-up towel we go to the swimming pool
Sometimes the sun don’t shine and the water is cruel
And I remind myself of my daddy’s golden rule
When it’s cold, you gotta be bold
When it’s cold, you gotta be bold
Now here’s the thing when you’re learning to swim
You gotta dive in, you gotta dive in
When it’s cold, you gotta be bold
When it’s cold, you gotta be bold
Now here’s the thing when you’re learning to swim
You gotta dive in, you gotta dive in
