Lyrics
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
'Cause when you feeling low
And you can't get no lower
That's when you know your close
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Woke up in the morning
It's another cloudy day but
That never mattered too much to me
Hey!
'Cause it's still a new beginning
And I know I got it in me
Had my share of ups and downs
But now I know I can do anything
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Hey, 'cause when you feelin' low, feelin' low
And you can't get no lower
That's when you know your close
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Uh, give it to me!
Some people think I'm aggressive
'Cause I know what I want but
That never mattered too much to me
Show me somebody without a goal
Show me somebody with no control
'Cause life is for livin'
So go and get it
But when times get rough
Remember nothing's for free
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Sometimes!
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Uh!
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Gotta work work hard for it
'Cause when you feelin' low
Feelin' low!
And you can't get no lower
Can't get no lower!
That's when you know your close
Know you're close, yeah!
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Hey, hey
Oh gotta get it
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Hey, hey, hey
Sometimes the road may seem too far
You never really know for sure
If you're ever gonna make it, yeah, yeah
Sometimes the end may seem so far
You never really know for sure
If you got the strength to make it
But you gotta remember
Sometimes it's gonna be days like this
Sometimes it's gonna be rain like this
Hey, but you gotta remember!
Sometimes you're gonna feel pain like this
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Uh, but you gotta work hard for it
'Cause when you feeling low
So hard for it
And you can't get no lower
Hey!
That's when you know your close
Hey!
Sometimes you gotta work hard for it
Days like this
Days like this
Rain like this
Rain like this
Feel pain like this
Gotta work hard for it
Gotta work hard for it
Hey, ooh
I do it 'cause I love it, oh+
