Living isn't easy for you
Though you wonder just for who it is
You don't try for what you want
So you don't get it
To be great is what you want to do
It's what ev'rybody else wants too
To be it is another thing
And you don't try no
You Gotta Work For What You Get
You gotta try so hard to win it
Just what are you trying to prove?
You walked right by me ignorantly
You think you're just too good for me
But you aren't
You think you're so smart
Why don't you prove it?
You don't wanna try
But you want to be important
You Gotta Work For What You Get
You gotta try so hard to win it
You're a great one and you know it
Though you know it isn't right to say it
But it's just as wrong to show it
And you do
You think you're so smart
Why don't you prove it
You don't wanna try
But you want to be important
You Gotta Work For What You Get
You gotta try so hard to win it
