When I was a young girl
My mother told me
A lesson she learnt a long time ago
Said if you want something to believe in
You've got to learn how to let go

She said
Sing like you don't need the money
Gotta love like you've never been hurt
You've gotta dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work

But there is one thing
I keep forgetting
When everything is falling apart
In love as in life I must remember
There's such thing as trying too hard

You've gotta
Sing like you don't need the money
Gotta love like you've never been hurt
You've gotta dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
