TLC-Get Away (bonus track on Girl Talk single)
Everytime you come around,
you always put me down,
you're always on my case.
That's why I act this way,
cuz livin day 2 day,
Is hard enough. to face.
No need to ask me why I feel so down,
When the life it stops, nobody comes around,
And that's why I say.
CHORUS
Don't try so hard,
you're doin fine,
don't go too far,
don't cross the line.
Don't push so hard.
cos I might break,
just need a chance to get away.
Everything in life we know,
we gotta learn by the chances we take.
If we don't give a damn about it we would never try to make away
Just be true about the way you feel,
cos when its right you gotta keep it real.
And that's why I say.
chorus
Nobody can, nobody knows,
but when you don't, it shows,
the way that you live defies the truth,
but the way that you feel about your life reflects on you.
And that's why I say.
chorus x2
Don't try so hard (don't try so hard)
don't go too far (don't go too far)
That's why I say
chorus to fade.
Everytime you come around,
you always put me down,
you're always on my case.
That's why I act this way,
cuz livin day 2 day,
Is hard enough. to face.
No need to ask me why I feel so down,
When the life it stops, nobody comes around,
And that's why I say.
CHORUS

If we don't give a damn about it we would never try to make away
