Song lyrics
well you're magic he said 
but don't let it all go to your head 
cause i bet if you all had it all figured out 
then you'd never get out of bed 
well no doubt 
of all the things that I've read what he wrote me 
is now sounding like the man i was hoping 
to be 
I keep on keeping it real 
cause it keeps getting easier he'll see 
he's the reason that i'm laughing 
even if there's no one else 
he said you've got to love, yourself 

he said you shouldn't mumble when you speak 
but keep your tongue up in your cheek 
and if you stumble on to something better 
remember that it's humble that you seek 
you've got all the skill you need, 
individuality 
you've got something 
call it gumption 
call it anything you want 
because when you play the fool now 
you're only fooling everyone else 
you're learning to love, yourself 

yes you are... 
yes you...you...you 

and there's no price to pay 
when you give and what you take, 
that's why it's easy to thank you 
you...you 
you...you...you 

let's say take a break from our day 
and gettin back to the old garage 
because life's too short anyway 
but at least it's better than average 
as long as you got me 
and i got you 
you know we got a lot to go around 
i'll be your friend 
your other brother 
another love to come and comfort you 
and i'll keep reminding 
if it's the only thing i ever do 
i will always love you 
you...you...you 
you... 
It's true I love it's true 
It's you I love it's you I love it's you it's you I love 
It's true I love it's true I love it's true it's you I love 
It's you I love it's you I love it's you it's you I love you I do 
It's you I love 
It's you I love it's you I love it's you it's you I love 
It's true I love it's true I love it's true it's you I love 
It's you I love it's you I love it's you it's you I love you I do 
I'm in love in love in love 
I'm in love in love in love 
It's you I love its you 
It's you I love I love I love 
It's you I love I love I love 
It's you I love I love I love Oh... 

[instrumental interlude] 

[choir] 
climb up over the top 
survey the state of the soul 
you've got to find out for yourself 
whether or not you're truly tryin 
why not give it a shot 
shake it take control 
inevitably wind up 
findin for yourself all the strengths 
you have inside still risin' 
X3 

[jason] 
climb up over the top 
survey the state of the soul 
you've got to find out for yourself 
whether or not you're truly tryin 
why not give it a shot 
shake it, take control 
and inevitably wind up 
findin for yourself all the strengths 
that you have inside of you

This song is so amazing. I hate it took me so long to appreciate it! I've had the CD for over five months and I just noticed the choir part and that's the best part of the song!

haha

i was afraid that would happen to somebody

i was listening to the song for the first time late at night, and for the few quiet seconds, i was like "is the song over?" and then right when i'm about to fall asleep, i hear this BLAST of drums and then the choir...

i love how jason arranged this song.
and he's great singing it live...

JASON MRAZ IS A GOD.

This song is incredible. No words can even describe it, it just makes you feel so good about yourself and its so uplifting. I can't stress enough how talented Jason Mraz really is and I wish that the whole world would be able to experience the same things I've felt through listening to his songs. He is such an underrated genius!
