Des'ree, born Desiree Weeks on November 30, 1968 in London, England was one of Britain's most successful pop/soul vocalists throughout the 1990s. She changed her name from Desiree Weeks because she preferred a two-syllable name. In 1994 the hit single "You Gotta Be" hit Billboard Top 5 and was a hit in the UK three times. It also allowed Des'ree to break into America. "You Gotta Be" was also a major hit in the United States, and it was featured in the movie The Next Karate Kid, starring Hilary Swank.

Get A Life Lyrics

Des'ree

Wake up, greet the angels
Sit back and wipe your eyes
Treat yourself to a facial, just by smiling
Slow down, you move too quickly
You've got to take the time
To touch and smell the flowers,
They're beautiful,yeah

Dum di dum di diiie
Dum di dum di diiie
Dum di dum di diiie take it in your stride
Dum di dum di diiie anytime you like
Dum di dum di diiie you can get a life

We know, life is tricky
Look it straight in the eye
Marley spoke of a revival, exodus yeah

Stand back, stand back,
Look around, look around
What do you see? what do you see?
This is such a great dream
Breathe in, breathe out, take it in, all the way
This is such a great, such a beautiful,
Oh ho, oh ho, yeah, yeah

In the blink of an eye, you can get a life
When you decide, you can get a life
