You Got to Mean It

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Girl, you can buy yourself a fancy suit

Yeah, you can dress up like the world's for you

But whatever you do, whatever you do

You got to mean it

Boy, you may think the world was made for you

Go strutting up and down the avenue

Yeah, you're looking all cool, but whatever you do

Oh, you got to mean it

Yeah, whatever you do, whatever you do

Yeah, you got to mean it

[Verse 2]

Yeah, it don't matter what arse you put on

Yeah, it don't matter what racks you put on

It don't matter at all, it don't matter at all

You just got to mean it

Yeah, it don't matter what people you know

And if you go to places where the faces go

It don't matter at all, you got to have soul

And you got to mean it

'Cause the point of it all

(You got to have soul!)

[Chorus]

You just got to mean it

You just got to mean it

You just got to mean it

You just got to mean it

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Boy, it don't matter if you show us all

More writing on your body than a bathroom wall

Yeah, you got to have soul (You got nothing at all!)

Yeah, you better mean it

Girl, it don't matter how you cut your hair

Or if you show the world a picture of your derrière

Means nothing at all (You got to have soul!)

Yeah, you better mean it

[Bridge]

(You got to have soul! You got nothing at all!)

Yeah, you better mean it

(You got to have soul! You got nothing at all!)

Yeah, you better mean it

[Outro]

(You got to have soul!)

(You got to have soul!)

(You got to have soul!)

(You got to have soul!)

(You got to have soul!)

(You got to have soul!)
