Got To Give

Yeah yeah
Ooh yeah

Ain't no time like the present
To do what you want to do
If you'll say you'll wait till later
Then it's real enough to you
People talk about solutions
Trying to build out all confusion
But the answer's really very simple
You got to give to get good, people
Yeah yeah yeah

So forget the competition
We all win in the end
Fill a space that is missing
You got to give to get, my friend
And remember while you're dancing
About who you're dancing with
C'mon, get yourself together
To receive you got to give, got to give
Got to give

Too much time is spent discussing
About what to do and how (yes, it is)
If people'd stop with all their fussing
They'd all be happy now
We need a light that we can feed on
We need some hope that we can see
We need a love, we can rely on
That's why giving has got to be

So forget the competition
We all win in the end
Fill a space that is missing
You got to give to get, my friend
And remember while you're dancing
About who you're dancing with
C'mon, get yourself together
To receive you got to give

So forget the competition
We all win in the end
Fill a space that is missing
You got to give to get, my friend
And remember while you're dancing
About who you're dancing with
C'mon, get yourself together
To receive you got to give, got to give, yeah
Got to give, got to give
Got to give yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
