Always too hot never too cold 
You make your best shot too hot to hold 
Never too young never too old 
You gotta go for gold 

Hey boy you wanted all or nothin' 
Lose the apprehension baby 
And go with the flow cause you know you've got to 
Stand up if you want the answers 
You need to blast 'em straight up baby 
So say what you mean and you mean to say now 

Hey you don't have to go and prove it 
You just go ahead and do it 
Your time is for the takin', makin' 
the best of what you got now 

Always too hot never too cold 
You make your best shot too hot to hold 
Never too young Never too old 
You gotta go for gold 

Don't care what they say about ya 
You never throw a hero party 
For those who oppose who you chose to be now 
Maybe you could feel the power 
It's like a bomb inside your head that blows if you're 
Slow when you go to use it 
You, you gotta show them that you mean it 
Just go ahead and scream it 
And show them what they're missin' listen 
To what your heart could tell ya 

Always too hot never too cold 
You make your best shot too hot to hold 
Never too young never too old 
You gotta go for gold 

You gotta go for gold and you'll make it baby 
Gold! And when you're there you gotta 
Throw your hands in the air 
And wave 'em like you just don't care 
Movin' provin' everything you're doin'
 
Always too hot never too cold 
You make your best shot too hot to hold 
Never too young never too old 
You gotta go for gold 

You, you don;t have to go and prove it 
You just go ahead and do it 
Your time is for the takin' makin' 
the best of what you got now 
Always too hot 
Never too cold 
Give your best shot 
Go with the flow cause you know you've got to 

Always too hot never too cold 
You make your best shot too hot to hold 
Never too young never too old 
You gotta go for gold
