[Verse 1]
Things get bad, times get tough
Everybody knows
You gotta be a little stronger

[Verse 2]
Just to have the things you need
Everybody knows
You could try a little harder
You're gonna live a whole lot longer

[Pre-Chorus]
Had enough of burnin' up the midnight hour
Going out and stayin' far too long

[Chorus]
You got to believe in something (Mmm, yeah, got to believe)
When you believe in something
These are the best of times
You got to have faith in someone (Mmm, yeah, you got to have faith)
When you have faith in someone
These are the best of times

[Verse 3]
Don't give up, can't give in
Never lose a minute
It's a long hard road back from nowhere
[Verse 4]
Love is not what you take out
It's what you put back in it
Take you chance, there's no doubt
Everything will all work out

[Pre-Chorus]
Had enough of burnin' up the midnight hour
Going out and stayin' far too long (Yeahh)

[Chorus]
You got to believe in something (Mmm, yeah, got to believe)
When you believe in something
These are the best of times
You got to have faith in someone (Someone, you got to have faith)
When you have faith in someone
Yeah, these are the best of times

[Refrain]
See my way, I know where I'm goin'
I-I-I-I know I'd never think that I'd ever give up
I want it all as soon as I can
Do it all right, right where I am

[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
Oh, I see my way, I know where I'm goin'
I-I-I-I know I'd never think that I'd ever give up
I want it all as soon as I can
Do it all right, right where I am

[Chorus]
You got to believe in something (Yeah, got to believe)
When you believe in something
These are the best of times
You got to have faith in someone (Someone, you got to have faith)
When you have faith in someone
Yeah, these are the best of times
You got to believe in something (Yeah, got to believe)
When you believe in something
These are the best of times
You got to have faith in someone (Ohhh, you got to have faith)
When you have faith in someone
Yeah, these are the best of times
