Well you're magic he said 
But don't let it all go to your head 
'Cause I bet if you all had it all figured out 
Then you'd never get out of bed 
Well, no doubt 
Of all the thing's that I've read what he wrote me 
It's now sounding like the man I was hoping 
To be 
I keep on keeping it real 
'Cause it keeps getting easier he'll see 
He's the reason that I'm laughing 
Even if there's no one else 
He said, you've got to love yourself 

You say, you shouldn't mumble when you speak 
But keep your tongue up in your cheek 
And if you stumble on to something better 
Remember that it's humble that you seek 
You got all the skill you need
Individuality 
You got something 
They call it gumption 
They call it anything you want 
Because when you play the fool now 
You're only fooling everyone else 
You're learning to love yourself 

Yes you are, you are, yes you, you, you

And there's no price to pay, no, no
When you're givin' what you take 
That's why it's easy to thank you 
You, you
You, you, you

Let's say you take a break from our day 
And gettin' back to the old garage 
Because life's too short anyway 
But at least it's better then average 
As long as you got me 
And I got yo, you know we'll got a lot to go around 
I'll be your friend, your other brother 
Another love to come and comfort you 

And I'll keep reminding 
If it's the only thing I ever do 
I will always love you
You, you, you 
You
(It's true my love, it's true, it's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love)
(It's true my love, it's true, my love, it's true, it's you I love)
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love)

Oh, it's you I love
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love)
(It's true my love, it's true, my love, it's true, it's you I love)
(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love) (it's you I love, I love, I love)

It's you I love, I love, I love
It's you I love, I love, I love
It's you I love, I love, I love

Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control, inevitably wind up
Find out for yourself all the strengths you have inside still rising

Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control, inevitably wind up
Find out for yourself all the strengths you have inside still rising

Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
(Why not give it a shot?) Oh, it's you I love
(Shake it, take control, inevitably wind up) Oh it's you I love
(Find out for yourself all the strengths you have inside still rising)

Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control and inevitably wind up
And find out for yourself all the strengths that you have inside of you
