This is the chorus from the song "You Gotta Be" by Des´ree:
"You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser, You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger, You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together, All I know, all I know, Love will save the day."
Ok, so i understand that she´s talking about life and how you have to be tough and hang on when things get difficult..but what i dont understand is why she says "Love will save the day" at the end of that verse...i mean i thought the song was saying how you have to be strong but if at the end of the day, love is goin to save you anyway...then its like all your effort wont effect anything in the end, anyway...right?
Or have i just completely misunderstood the song? =))

I understand what you mean by wasting your time and effort.
The point is, because I've experienced this, is that you have to hold out, be strong, calm, etc., but that all this will not be enough for you at the end of the day.
Your life will never be complete, no matter how brilliant you are as a person, not without love.
If you don't have someone that you love, and that loves you back, life is pointless.
Hope it makes sense now. ; )

Ok, I believe this song is about life and how at the end you will succeed in many different ways because as we know there is never only 1 answer so it does not matter how hard you try you will always be happy because love can change everything.I hope this helps, sorry if it doesnt but gimme a break I am inly 10 years old.

Bad days WILL happen. Things WILL go wrong in LIFE. How you take it is up to you.
I think that is what it means. You gotta be smart to make the right choices. Love will always be there in the end. But how many regrets you hold up to the end of the day is up to you.
Just a thought.

You completely misunderstood the song because she is talking about how you have to be when love comes your way.

For me it means there should be a balance in everything and in everything you do at the end of the day love should always be above everything else.

that's a very interesting point you've risen - i can definately see where you're coming from on this one - perhaps she is trying to say "look guys, try new things/experiences and don't be afraid, and if it doesn't go a you plan, then you've always got people who love you " - just a thought

In order to succeed, you have to be strong, honest, patient, and a good person. You have to love to live.
