Got to Be There Songtext
von Toots & The Maytals

If you′ve been weeping and wailing,
Naughty, naughty.
Who knows how that love had to linger on.
Got to be there.
Got to be there.
Got to be there.

Just to answer to your name,
When the roll is called for your fate.
If you go the bad way,
You must prepare to get bad pay.
The seed you sow, girl,
This you shall surely reap,
My brother and sister.
Got to be there.
Got to be there.
Got to be there.


Just to answer to your name,
When the roll is called for your fate
Lord, have mercy now. (I feel the Spirit)

Brother Moses got to be there.
Also brother Peter got to be there.
The sinners got to be there.
I've got to be there too.
Got to be there.
Got to be there.
Got to be there.

Just to answer to your name,
When the roll is called for your fate.

If you are from Canada.
If you are from America.
If you are from Africa.
If you are from Jamaica.
You got to be there.
Got to be there.
Got to be there.
Just to answer to your name,
When the roll is called for your fate.
