I'll Get Over

I'll get over, no matter what you do or say.

I'll get over, pretty lady, now you've had your way.

For what it's worth, for what it gives,

Is there a better way for you to live?

In your eyes there is something strange.

Wandering around, a women of the night,

Are you sure that this life is right?

Is it real or are you just afraid?

I'll get over, no matter what you do or say.

Think it over, ooh lady, know you feel this way.

You're shouting loud, it's getting late.

Use your anger to compensate

For all this running's twisted up my sight[? ]

But snuggle up, it'll be all right,

Let the world crash, hellbound sight[? ]

Use my love to penetrate.

And I'll get over, people when you put me down.

And get over, yeah, I know that you will come around.

All right!

False ideas and your hollywood expressions

[? ] dragging all of your possessions

[? ]

And don't listen to the joker 'cause he'll only rob you blind[? ].

Oh yeah.

I'll get over, no matter what you do or say.

Think it over, little lady don't you feel that way[? ]

I'll get over, no matter what you do to me.

I'll get over, [? ]

I'll get over.

You bet.

I'll Get Over

Released by The Kinks in 1966, 'I'll Get Over' stands as a quintessential example of the band's mid-period rock sound, blending pop sensibilities with the group's signature social commentary and melodic hooks. The track features the distinctive vocals of Ray Davies, who often wove personal narratives into broader observations on human behavior and relationships. As part of the band's extensive discography during this era, the song exemplifies their ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly material that resonated with audiences while maintaining the lyrical depth characteristic of their work. It remains a staple in the catalog of British Invasion rock, reflecting the band's enduring influence on the genre.
