On The Line

Written by Babyface, recorded by Michael Jackson



No sense pretending it's over
Hard times just don't go away
You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
It's time you open up, have some faith

Nothing good overcomes easy
All good things come in due time
You gotta have something to believe in
I'm telling you to open your mind

Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
You see yourself in the mirror
And you don't like what you see

And things are getting much clearer
Don't you think it's time you go for a change
Don't waste your time on the past
It's time you look at the future
It's all right there if you ask
This time you could try much harder
You'll be the best that you can be

Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
If you wanna make it right
If you wanna do it now
You gotta learn to try
You can make it right somehow
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
You and me yeah yeah
Hee
You and me yeah yeah
Hee
Never stop believing that if nothing else
Things change
Evolve into the light
and all disorder will cease
Live for love
and love will live for you
