Sometimes Lyrics

Gotta do right, you gotta do right, ah sometimes
Talking about a revolution, or maybe just a change of mind
Working on my constitution, I began to realize
I've been doing wrong forever, trouble was my favourite game, yeah
Breaking hearts I tought was so clever
But, I'm the one who got hurt playing

I never could see it coming, no
Never could feel it until its come and gone
But, all of that don't mean nothing, no
When you're all alone

Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness
Sometimes, sometimes

Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes
You're looking at a transformation
That's brought about a change in me
Love's a brand new situation, never have I felt so free

Cause I can see it coming, yeah
And I can feel it calling louder
Now loving is so rewarding, yeah
When you let it out

Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy
One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside
Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness
Sometimes, sometimes
