Got it today, what a day, thanks a million! Spent too much time wondering why I got a feeling, I know you wanna try to get away, But it's the hardest thing, you'll ever know! Waited in line, a terrible time, over to near you, Fading away, nothing to say, you're all that I'm hearin', I know you wanna try to get away, But it's the hardest thing, you'll ever know! Try to get you, try to get you! Try to get you, try to get you, Try to get you, try to get you! I know you wanna try to get away, But it's the hardest thing, you'll ever know! I know you wanna try to get away, But it's the hardest thing, you'll ever know!
