When I was a young girl
My mother told me
A lesson she learned a long time ago
Said if you want something to hold on to
You’ve gotta 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 a thing as
Trying too hard
You 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
When I was a young girl
My mother told me
A lesson she learned a long time ago
Said if you want something to hold on to
You’ve gotta 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
You 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
It’s gotta come from the heart
If you want it to work
