[Michael Jackson - On the Line lyrics]
No sense pretending it's over
Hard times just don't go away
You got to take that chip off your shoulder
It's time you open up, have some faith
Nothing good ever comes easy
All good things come in due time, yes it does
You got to 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, ooh
And things aren't getting much clearer
Don't you think it's time you
Go for a change, oh!
Don't waste your time on the past, no, no
It's time you look to the future, oh
It's all right there if you ask
This time if you try much harder
You will be the best that you can be, ooh!
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 make it right)
And you wanna do it now (Do it now)
Then you gotta learn to try
(Then you gotta learn to try)
And you'll make it work somehow
(Make it work somehow)
No, nothing in life comes free
And that's just the way it is, now
You gotta go for what you want
You gotta know what you've got to stand for
Gotta put your heart on the line
(Gotta put it all, on the line, you and me)
If you wanna make it right (Hoo)
You've got to reach out and try
(Hoo! You and me)
Gotta put your heart on the line
(Gotta put it all, gotta put it all)
If you wanna get it right (Hoo, hoo, hee)
Gotta put it all on the line (Hee)
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
Hard times just don't go away
You got to take that chip off your shoulder
It's time you open up, have some faith
Nothing good ever comes easy
All good things come in due time, yes it does
You got to 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, ooh
And things aren't getting much clearer
Don't you think it's time you
Go for a change, oh!
Don't waste your time on the past, no, no
It's time you look to the future, oh
It's all right there if you ask
This time if you try much harder
You will be the best that you can be, ooh!
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 make it right)
And you wanna do it now (Do it now)
Then you gotta learn to try
(Then you gotta learn to try)
And you'll make it work somehow
(Make it work somehow)
No, nothing in life comes free
And that's just the way it is, now
You gotta go for what you want
You gotta know what you've got to stand for

(Gotta put it all, gotta put it all)
If you wanna get it right (Hoo, hoo, hee)
Gotta put it all on the line (Hee)
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
