I wish someone would write me a song
Or tell me a story
So I don't have to worry
I need a little love and a hand to hold
Somebody old to watch over me
I need a little time so I don't have to hurry

Oh, you say it all

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
But I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation

I wish someone would answer the phone
Stop leaving me hanging on
I'm feeling like a little ship out on the ocean
I need a little love and a hand to hold
Somewhere to hold the frustration
I need a little cause for celebration

Oh, you say it all

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
But I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation

Growing up
Check your notes
So you know
Just, just which way to go

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up...
You just gotta
You just gotta, you gotta
You just gotta, you gotta, gotta

Oh, you say it all

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
But I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up
To the situation
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
But I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
