Tony J. Jenkins - How Your Gonna Build Yourself Up When You Beat Yourself Down? Lyrics

Gotta, Gotta stop the put downs, gotta get a brand new way
You can't go up putting yourself down
Gotta, Gotta stop the put downs, gottin to be far too much
You can't go up putting yourself down
You gotta take a hard, lookout yourself, only your can lead the way
You gotta say good things, about yourself and make love lead your day

Gotta, Gotta stop the put downs gitten to be sad, sad, sad
You can't go up putting yourself down
Gotta, Gotta stop the put downs gitten to be bad, bad, bad
You can't go up putting yourself down

You gotta get up on your feet
You gotta sing a new positive song
You gotta lift up both your hands, You gotta dance to the positive song
Only, you can put the past behind

Gotta, Gotta stop the put downs gitten to be far too long
You can't go up putting yourself down
Gotta, Gotta stop the put downs singing that old sad song
You can't go up putting yourself down
Well it ain't easy, to leave the past behind, no it ain't easy
It's gonna take some time

Cause some put downs are justified, some put downs are sanctified
Some put downs are scandalized
Haters keep hate a movie, round, round, round, round
Some put downs are justified, some put downs are sanctified
Some put downs are scandalized
Don't let those haters pull you down, down, down, down

Throw it all out the window, You just have to say Good-bye
There a winner deep within you
All you have to do is try
(Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey)
How you gonna build yourself up if you beat yourself down?
How you gonna build yourself up if you beat yourself down?
How you gonna build yourself up if you beat yourself down?
