If I have my time again I would do it all the same Ain't change a single thing Even when I was the blind For the heartache and the pain Got a cause throughout my ears How I'd love to be your man Through the laughter and the tears [Chorus:] Situation no win Rush for the change of atmosphere I can't go on so I give in Gotta get myself right outta here Now I'm fully grown And I know where it's at Somehow I stayed thin While the other guys got fat All the chances that are blown And the times that I've been down I didn't get to high Kept my feet on the ground [Chorus] And of all my friends You've been the best to me Soon will be the day When I repay you hands and knees Broken hearts are hard to mend I know I've had my share But life just carries on Even when I'm not there [Chorus x 2] Gotta get myself right Gotta get myself right Gotta get myself right Outta there [Repeat]
