Girl I know you're not coming back anymore So why oh why do I keep on watching the door I talk to you As though you can hear what I say But I'll lose my mind If I keep on acting this way
I've got to get a hold on myself Got to make believe I don't care Got to go someplace Find a brand new place Got to get out and get somewhere Got to get a hold on myself Got to take what life has to give
Got to get on the track and lay down and die Got to get a hold on myself
Late at night I hear footsteps sound down the hall And I Tell myself that you're coming back after all Telephone rings but there's no one on the line No, no, no When I stop and think I know it's all in my mind
I've got to get a hold on myself Got to make believe I don't care Got to go someplace Find a brand new place Got to get out and get somewhere Got to get a hold on myself Got to take what life has to give
Got to get on the track and lay down and die Got to get a hold on myself
