You gotta be good to yourself, you can’t wait on nobody else.

November 7, 2011 by April

Oh, when you’re traveling through the highs and the lows, make sure you listen to your spirit. You gotta take care of your soul

Be Good To Yourself by Ledisi

Lyrics

Be good to yourself

Sometimes we don’t listen
To what we already know
Take time to hear me
‘Cause you’ve got to be told

So busy looking for love
Like you don’t know your worth
Get it together
Even when it hurts

You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody, ooh
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

Some days you feel like running
From everyone you know
The things that you thought might be right now
It ain’t necessarily so

So much on my mind
Need a break from it all
To get myself together
So I don’t fall

Gotta be good to yourself
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, you gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love, yeah
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

Oh, when you’re traveling
Through the highs and the lows
Make sure you listen to your spirit
You gotta take care of your soul

Hold on, never give up
You can get through whatever
Always make time
For yourself, whoo

You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, be good to yourself
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody else
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

Be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You keep looking for the love from somebody else
(No one else)
You gotta find it from within

Yeah, be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)
Be good, be good to yourself

It’s a beautiful day.

November 7, 2011 by April

There are no mistakes, just chances we’ve taken.


It’s a Beautiful Day by India Arie

Lyrics
Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we’ve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now

Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for

Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
I’m gon’ do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la [x3]
It’s a Beautiful Day [x3]

Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like you’ve got something to prove
Remind yourself that there’s only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks for who you are
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today

Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my heart and
I’m gon’ do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la [x3]
It’s a Beautiful Day [x2]

Let’s make this a wonderful
Let’s make this a powerful
Let’s make this a Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Day

Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we’ve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
