lyrics

You gotta be gentle from the inside out
from the inside out, from the inside out
you can rock and roll and twist and shout
you can show us all what it's all about
but you gotta be gentle from the inside out
from the inside out, from the inside out

You gotta be gentle from the outside in
from the outside in, from the outside in
nobody knows what today will bring
what's gonna shut you up, or make you sing
but you gotta be gentle from the outside in
from the outside in, from the outside in

When you see a yield sign, yield the way
you're nothing in the world today
the sky is blue, your eyes are gray
the weather's gonna have its say

You gotta be gentle, through and through
through and through, through and through
with everything you think and say and do
the world needs gentlemen like you
to get to where you're going to
where you're going to, where you're going to

Falling backwards is not a crime
prize fighters do it all the time
the ones who learn to gently land
finally start to understand

You gotta be gentle from the inside out
from the inside out, from the inside out
you can rock and roll and twist and shout
you can show us all what it's all about
buy you gotta be gentle from the inside out
from the inside out, from the inside out

Emergency pleasure wound
to something sweet you are attuned
walk right through the gates of horror
is it joy that's now in store

You gotta be gentle, through and through
through and through, through and through
with everything you think and say and do
the world needs gentle folks like you
to get to where you're going to
where you're going to, where you're going to
