Sometimes 'Ya' 'Gotta' Be Strong
Chorus Thomas J. Carrig
C
Sometimes 'ya' 'gotta' be strong,
Sometimes 'ya' 'gotta' be tough.
F
People who are doin' wrong,
Are 'gonna' need a whole 'lotta' love.
C
And if you love them
F C G
You can let them know
G7 G
'Yeah' if you love them
G7 G C
You must tell them no.
F
Like a baby stickin' his hand in a fire
C
You've got to pull her away
F
Or someone who is full of desire
C
Gamblin’ with drugs or with Aids
(Will have a price to pay)
F
Sometimes if somebody let you know that
C
Hey, they really cared.
D
It could really help someone
G7 G
And get some sorrow spared.
{Chorus}
F
People are just like you and me ,
C
They want to fit in and be loved.
F
So treat them like you'd treat yourself
C
Because they can’t get enough
F
The world is full of hatred and pain,
C
With some of it yet to be had.
D
So don't you live your life in vain,
G7
By lettin' somebody go bad.
