Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

You Just Gotta Be

If I satisfy you

If you satisfy me

Once the course has been set

Gonna need all the help I can get but

You just gotta be you

I just gotta be me

I can't classify you

You can't pacify me

We can't make it at all

You won't even take my calls

I just wanna be loved

You just gotta be free

I'll smile and tell it to the world

You just gotta be

Pardon me for sayin'

What a price you've been payin'

What more can I say

You might feel different some day

If it matter to you

It still matters to me

You'll find me by the bayou

Thinkin' wicked thoughts of you

I just wanna be strong

You just gotta be wrong

I can't clarify you

You can't verify me

I can't make it by stealth

You won't even share the wealth so

You just gotta be you

I just gotta be me

And I will tell that to the world

You just gotta be

With a gratified mind

I'll be on the highway

Just as soon as I can

Where there's a will

There's a way so until then

I just wanna be me

And you just gotta be
