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
