Lyrics & Music By Pete Dowan (SOCAN)
DO IT YOURSELF
1st VERSE:
If you're standing on the sidelines
While the game of life goes on.
I know how you feel, I was there myself
And I know it isn't easy to be strong.
CHORUS:
IF YOU'VE GOT A BURDEN ON YOUR SHOULDERS
DON'T GO FEELIN' SORRY FOR YOURSELF.
TAKE IT FROM THE LIFE OF ONE WHO'S OLDER.
GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF, DON'T WAIT FOR HELP
GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF.
2nd VERSE:
I have seen so many people
Waitin' for their lucky break.
Before they're aware it has gone right by
But they never seem to learn from their mistakes..
CHORUS:
IF YOU'VE GOT A BURDEN ON YOUR SHOULDERS
DON'T GO FEELIN' SORRY FOR YOURSELF.
TAKE IT FROM THE LIFE OF ONE WHO'S OLDER.
GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF, DON'T WAIT FOR HELP
GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF.
BRIDGE:
SO YOU THINK YOU GOT A PROBLEM?
WAIT UNTIL THE ANSWER'S FOUND.
THEN THEY'LL TREAT YOU LIKE A LONG LOST FRIEND
AND YOU'LL WONDER WHERE THEY WERE WHEN YOU WERE DOWN.
3rd VERSE:
Are you searching for that one thing
That will help you carry on.
You need only look in your heart my friend,
'Cos it's in you, really been there all along.
CHORUS:
IF YOU'VE GOT A BURDEN ON YOUR SHOULDERS
DON'T GO FEELIN' SORRY FOR YOURSELF.
TAKE IT FROM THE LIFE OF ONE WHO'S OLDER.
GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF, DON'T WAIT FOR HELP
GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF.
END:
DON'T WAIT FOR HELP GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF, ....................
YOU GOTTA DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
DO IT YOUR SELF
YOU GOTTA DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
DON'T WAIT FOR HELP . etc
