Lyrics

I’m a restless soul, I’m hard to console
Gotta do something good, something good every minute of the day

I can’t sit still, have to get my fill
Gotta do something good, something good every minute of the day

Like a shark in the water, have to keep moving
Just to stay alive, it’s the only way I thrive
Gotta do something good, something good to feel better about myself

I try to set dates, but I’m often late
And I’m still catchin’ up, catchin’ up every single day

Despite slow starts, I try to do my part
But I’m still catchin’ up, catchin’ up every single day

Now I’m gettin’ older, there’s more I can shoulder
Make the most of my time, if not it’d be a crime
Gotta do something good, something good to feel better about myself

Never can relax, those are just the facts
Gotta do something good, something good every minute of the day

Won’t rest on my laurels, I’ve got good morals
Gotta do something good, something good every minute of the day

When it’s all said and done, I want everyone
To say he couldn’t give more, he left it all on the floor
Gotta do something good, something good to feel better ’bout myself
Gotta do something good, something good to feel better ’bout myself
Gotta do something good, something good to feel better ’bout myself
