You Can Get It If You Really Want Lyrics
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
Persecution you must bear
Win or lose you've got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it, though harder them seem now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
I know it, listen
Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
It\'s the sweeter the victory, now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
You can get it if you really want - I know it
You can get it if you really want - though I show it
You can get it if you really want
- so don't give up now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
Win or lose you've got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it, though harder them seem now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
I know it, listen
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
It\'s the sweeter the victory, now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
You can get it if you really want - though I show it
You can get it if you really want
- so don't give up now

This song was used in the book "Second Star To The Right", a book about a young anorexic girl. She uses this song to work out. That's all I hear when I hear this song. "You can get it if you really want, but you must try try and try" = "You're almost thin. Keep going."

sheesh thanks for ruining that song for me....
I can totally see an anorexic girl all paranoid and intense working out to this song...all sickly thin and bony
ugh horrible
