Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start

[Verse 2]
You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Nothing's half as bad as it may appear
Wait 'til next year and hope

[Bridge]
When your luck is battin' zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister you can be a hero
You can open any door
There's nothing to it but to do it

[Verse 3]
You've gotta have heart
Miles and miles and miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse bеfore the cart
First you've gotta havе heart
[Verse 4]
You've gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start

[Verse 5]
You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Nothing's half as bad as it may appear
Wait 'til next year and hope

[Bridge]
When your luck is battin' zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister you can be a hero
You can open any door
There's nothing to it but to do it

[Verse 6]
You've gotta have heart
Miles and miles and miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse before the cart
First you've gotta have heart
[Outro]
You've gotta have heart
