ALL:
You gotta have love in your heart
You gotta have a song on your lips
You gotta let freedom roll
Then you'll feel good
Yes you will
JEAN:
I look out my window
And what do I see
I see a world that's full of confusion
And I know just what it needs
ALL:
It needs to have a little love in its heart
It's gotta have a song you can sing
It's gotta let freedom roll
Then you'll feel good
Yes you will
LEVI:
I look in my mirror
And what do I see, yeah
I see a man
Who's lost and is wandering
And I know just what he needs
ALL:
He needs to have a little love in his heart
He's gotta have a song on his lips
He's gotta let freedom roll
Then he'll feel good
Yes he will
(Call and response) JEAN/Chorus:
Don't you wanna feel good
Yes I do
Ooh, you should feel good
Yes I do
You've gotta feel good, oh yeah
Yes I do
ALL:
You gotta have a little love in your heart
You gotta have a song on your lips
You gotta let freedom roll
Then you'll feel good
Yes you will
You gotta have a little love in your heart
You gotta have a song on your lips
You gotta let freedom roll
Then you'll feel good
Yes you will
JEAN:
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love--
Yeah people
And I'm talking to you
And you-ooh-ooh-ooh--, yeah
Say it, say it again
Ooh, ooh, ooh...Oh yeah
You sound so good
