Get It Together

And when she turns away from me
I don’t know where to look
I’ve tried my best, done everything
They’ve written in the book
I know it’s not a fantasy
'Cause this thing is too real
Maybe she’s trying to break the man in me
But she don’t know how I feel
I’ve got to get it together
Ain’t gonna stay here forever
Got to show that it’s not alright
Hold on to my integrity so tight
(I can’t wait no more
That’s right walking out the door
Should have done it long ago but you know
When you know that you’re out of time)
Why must you treat me so?
Lady, I want you to know
How I truly do feel
And lately it hurts me
I’m wishing that this wasn’t real
My love, my time, my heart, my soul
All waste in vain
And I put it to you, there’s nothing left
Release me and ease the pain
I’ve got to get it together
Ain’t gonna stay here forever
Got to show that it’s not alright
Hold on to my integrity so tight
(I can’t wait no more
That’s right walking out the door
Should have done it long ago but you know
When you know that your out of time)
Why must you treat me so?
