Written by Nick Scotti and Freddy Bastone



You say that you know yourself

You told me that you'd try

I say that's impossible

'Cause you never looked inside

You're stuck on past do-me-wrongs

Listening to feel-bad-for-me-songs



CHORUS:

Life is what you make it

Your life, no need to cry

Life is what you make it

Your life, it's for the taking

It's for the taking



You live to be someone else

You live to be free

You look inside the mirror

Not liking what you see

We all have our problems now and then

But a little love is all we need



CHORUS



BRIDGE:

Don't you worry baby

The sun is gonna shine

Things will surely work out

If you only take the time

There'll be love, it won't hurt to try it

There'll be peace, and that means no more cryin'

There'll be happiness, and you'll feel good inside



You're stuck on past do-me-wrongs

Listen to the message in my song



CHORUS (X2)
