Gotta Get It Straight

I gotta get it straight, before it gets too late
I done made up my mind, I been wastin' precious time
But one thing I know
I gotta get it straight, before it gets too late
Try to blame your lies on me

And if it comes together, I guess it's up to me
Can't wait for somebody else to get it straight for me
One thing I do know
It's all up to me, to change what needs to be

I been down before
But I'm back on my feets again!

Now the longer I live, the more that I believe
The more that I give, the more that I receive
Now one thing I'll tell you
You got to give, you gotta give to get what you need

And I believe in dreamin', no harm can come to you
The worst thing that could happen, is that it won't come true
But one thing that I have seen
That's a dream come true, at least a time or two

I been down before
But I'm back on my feets again!

If there's a point to the story, I guess it's simply this
You only get a few chances, you can't afford to miss, no
One thing I'll tell you
You get that chance to hit, you can't afford to miss, no no

You better get it straight, before it gets too late
You better make up your mind, you been wastin' precious time
One thing I do know
You gotta get it straight, before it gets too late

I been down before
But I'm back on my feets again!
How 'bout you?
