Go To Songtext
i should have listened to what you told me
i didn't know you were wise
you said "you better watch out!
he's gonna own you"
i didn't know what the pain
would be more than the gain
now you're on your own
tell me, how does it feel?
and i walked this rope for you
laid down my life for you
(chorus)
get up, get up, get up
you've got to get up
get up, get up, get up
you've got to get up
so you thought you had him figured
just to find you were wrong
and the memories that you have now
well they're all done
you wanted to believe
that what you get is what you see
well i'm on my own
i know just how it feels
(chorus)
get up, get up, get up
you've got to get up
get up, get up, get up
you've got to get up
i walked this rope for you
laid down my life for you
i didn't know you were wise
you said "you better watch out!
he's gonna own you"
i didn't know what the pain
would be more than the gain
now you're on your own
tell me, how does it feel?
and i walked this rope for you
laid down my life for you
(chorus)
get up, get up, get up
you've got to get up
get up, get up, get up
you've got to get up
so you thought you had him figured
just to find you were wrong
and the memories that you have now
well they're all done
you wanted to believe
that what you get is what you see
well i'm on my own
i know just how it feels
(chorus)
get up, get up, get up
you've got to get up
get up, get up, get up
you've got to get up
i walked this rope for you
laid down my life for you
