Lyrics of 'Song For a Friend' by Jason Mraz

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 getting 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 (uuh)
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, it's 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)

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 trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control
Inevitably wind up
Finding for yourself all the strengths
You have inside still rising

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 trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control
Inevitably wind up
Finding for yourself all the strengths
You have inside still rising

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 trying (it's you I love)
Why not give it a shot? (oh, it's you I love)
Shake it, take control (oh, it's you I love)
Inevitably wind up (I love, I love)
Finding for yourself all the strengths (I love, I love)
You have inside still rising (I love, I do)

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 trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, take control
And inevitably wind up
And find out for yourself all the strengths
That you have inside of you
