Gotta Get A Hold Of Myself

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
