Gotta Get A Hold On 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

Got to get a hold on myself

Got to make believe I don't care

Got to go some place, find a brand new face

Got to get out and get somewhere

Got to get a hold of myself

Got to take what life has to give

Got to give it a try, can't lay down and die

Got to get a hold of myself

Late at night, I hear footsteps sound down the hall

And I kid 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

Got to get a hold of myself

Got to make believe I don't care

Got to go some place, find a brand new face

Got to get out and get somewhere

Got to get a hold of myself

Got to take what life has to give

Got to give it a try, can't lay down and die

Got to get a hold of myself
