Lyrics:

[English]

"We are 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

No doubt

Of all the things that I've read what he wrote me

Is 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

Call it gumption

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, it's you...

...

There's no price to pay (no, no)

When you give and what you take

That's why it's easy to thank you

You, you...

You, you, you...

Let's say take a break from our day

And get ['n] 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 you

You know we've got a lot to go around

I'll be your friend

Your other brother

Another love to come and comfort you-oo-oo

And I'll keep reminding

If it's the only thing I ever do-oo-oo

I will always love you

...

You, you, you...

You...

(It's true I 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 I love, it's true I love, its 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, 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) Oo, it's you I love...

(It's true I love, it's true I love, its true, it's you I love)

(It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love) I'm in love in love in love

I'm in love in love in love with you, I'm love with you

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 lo-ove, ooh

...

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 fighting 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
